Significant changes in contract liabilities
The change in contract liabilities is the result of the Group’s development contract activities which started in 2019 and which have increased since then. For certain development contracts, the Group provides services exceeding the payments received from customers which result in contract assets. Conversely, the Group receives prepayments for certain development contracts which result in contract liabilities. Contract liabilities increased mainly as a result of prepayments received for development contracts with EV Cars in current and previous years for which the performance obligations have not been satisfied before the current year-end. This increase has been offset by a decrease in contract liabilities of €452 thousand for charging services provided to one of the PIPE Investors during the current year. For more information on balances with related parties, reference is made to Note 36.2.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Group entered into a strategic partnership with a PIPE Investor for future charging sessions. A portion of the cash received for the PIPE Investment was therefore accounted for as a contract liability in recognition of future services to be transferred to the customer. During the current year, the Group satisfied a portion of the performance obligation related to this contract liability and the amount recognized as charging revenue was €452 thousand. As of December 31, 2023, €2,906 thousand (December 31, 2022: €3,358 thousand) of the contract liability balance relates to this arrangement, of which €2,726 thousand is recognized as current and €180 thousand is recognized as non-current.

(in €‘000) 2023 2022
Within one year 14,062  24,791 
More than one year 4,391  7,909 
Total 18,453  32,700 
As at December 31, 2023, the Group expects that 76% of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations will be recognized as revenue during the next financial reporting year. The remaining 24% will be recognized in the 2025 and 2026 financial reporting years. Of the total unsatisfied performance obligations, 84% relates to service revenue from the sale of charging equipment and service revenue from installation services. The remaining portion of 16% relates to revenue from charging sessions.
