Q&A highlights

Q: Could you provide more color on the end customers for the vehicles sold during the quarter?

A: One vehicle went to a municipal airport authority in Arkansas, several to a California upholstery company, several to a national solar company in Utah, and some to a local New Jersey public library.

Q: Has increased fuel prices impacted interest in vehicles and opportunities in the pipeline?

A: Yes, increased fuel prices have led to more interest as operating costs of diesel vehicles exceed price differences with electric vehicles, and more people are inquiring about the company's vehicles.

Q: Any update on the litigation with GPV?

A: Green Power reached out to settle earlier this year but had last-minute non-negotiables; defense filed, and both sides are talking with hope for settlement though ego may be an issue currently.

Q: Update on reverse split and financing?

A: Reverse split is concurrent with financing, and the company has received approval for up to $250 million in industrial bonds for expansion; they are conservative in raising money, have low burn rates, and are excited about being fully homologated and having vehicles on the road.

Q: Progress on right-hand drive vehicles and potential game-changing opportunities?

A: The company is the only in North America with homologated right-hand drive vehicles, which opens doors to European markets and potential opportunities like with the U.S. Postal Service.

Q: Update on ProGreens and plant utilization?

A: Work underway with ProGreens, intention to start battery manufacturing in Osceola plant, in discussions with a solar company for solar panel manufacturing, and unveiling a school bus later this fall to target fleet markets with infrastructure and renewable energy solutions.
