Blink Charging to Rename Itself Blink Energy Co. via 8-K

Blink Charging Co. plans to rename itself Blink Energy Co., according to an 8-K the company filed with the SEC on 2 November 2026. The charter amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on 27 October 2026, and the effective date is still awaiting confirmation from the state. The company says the new name reflects its move into energy management and battery energy storage, beyond EV charging.

What is Blink Charging changing its name to?

Blink Charging Co. filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada on 27 October 2026 to change its name to Blink Energy Co., the 8-K states. The company announced the plan and the "Blink Energy™" brand in a press release dated 29 October 2026.

The announcement came first, two days after the state filing. The 8-K came after that, on 2 November 2026, and is the formal disclosure of the charter change.

When does the new name take effect?

The effective date has not been set. The 8-K says the company is waiting for confirmation from the State of Nevada regarding the effective date of the amendment. Until that date is confirmed, the filing still carries the name Blink Charging Co. in its signature block.

Why is Blink Charging renaming itself?

The company says the rebrand reflects its expansion across three offerings:

• EV charging
• Energy management
• Battery energy storage

This explanation is the company's own. The press release describes the three areas as "complementary," but it does not give revenue or margin figures for each one, so the weight of each offering in the business cannot be checked from the sources used here.

What else changes with the new name?

The amendment also updates the company's governance documents so they use the new name. Investing.com reports that no change to the Nasdaq symbol or principal offices was announced in the filing.

What does the 8-K say and who signed it?

The filing is classified under Item 5.03, which covers amendments to articles of incorporation or bylaws. That makes it a formal amendment to the company's charter documents, not a press announcement, even though the press release came first. Michael Bercovich, Chief Financial Officer, signed the report for Blink Charging Co. on 2 November 2026.

How is the stock performing, and what is the Nasdaq timeline?

Investing.com reported on 2 November 2026 that the stock had fallen 76% over the past year to $0.43, with a market capitalization of $62 million. Those market figures are as reported on that date, not current prices, and they come from that single outlet.

Nasdaq has twice told the company its stock was below the $1.00 minimum bid price. The company's 8-K reports the first notice, received on 26 January 2026, and the second, received on 28 July 2026. The company has until 25 January 2027 to regain compliance.

The context is less flattering. Energy-Storage.news describes the rename as following a sustained fall in the share price over the past four years. Investing.com reports that second-quarter 2026 revenue did not meet Wall Street's estimates and that the company adjusted its full-year sales outlook downward, while it focused on cost-cutting, expanding gross margins and shifting toward recurring revenue streams.

The timeline in order

The dates across the sources line up as follows:

• 26 January 2026: Nasdaq sends the first notice for failing to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price.
• 28 July 2026: Nasdaq sends a second notice, which the company reports in its 8-K of the same date.
• 27 October 2026: Blink Charging Co. files the Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State.
• 29 October 2026: The company announces its plan to change its name and rebrand to "Blink Energy™."
• 2 November 2026: The 8-K is dated and signed by Michael Bercovich, Chief Financial Officer. Investing.com reports the rename the same day.
• 25 January 2027: The deadline to regain compliance with the bid price rule.

The gap between the state filing and the public announcement is two days, and the gap before the formal SEC disclosure is six days. Nothing in the sources explains the order beyond those dates.

What's still unclear?

• The effective date. The filing gives no date for the name change. It depends on Nevada's confirmation.
• The link between the rename and the listing. The sources used here do not connect the rename to the Nasdaq bid-price timeline. Nothing in them says whether the name change affects compliance.
• The business weight of each offering. The company names three areas but gives no split of revenue or margin, so the rebrand's basis in the business is the company's claim.
• The market figures. The 76% decline, the $0.43 share price and the $62 million market capitalization come from one outlet, Investing.com, as of 2 November 2026.
