Ideanomics Inc (NASDAQ:IDEX) posted its second quarter 2020 results on Monday that saw the company post the largest revenue from its mobile energy group (MEG) since the company started electric vehicle sales.
Revenue for the three months ended June 30 was $4.7 million, largely driven by its Sales to Financing to Charging (S2F2C) business model gaining traction in the electric vehicle sector, according to the New York-based firm.
"We are very pleased with the pace of our sales growth in the new energy vehicle industry," said Alf Poor, CEO of Ideanomics in a statement accompanying the results. "As the rate of global electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to rise and technology advancements make EVs more accessible, our S2F2C business model is positioned to add value for commercial fleet operators in all areas of their business."
