UK, thanks for the feedback.

[uksausage]

Yes still bullish but was disappointed they got “relegated”.
Focus on the business which seems to be ramping up, albeit slower than I expected.
Electric School buses are free, so school boards just need to pay for the charging infrastructure.
Their own platform seems to be focused on some sweet spots - shuttle buses in particular.

Waiting to start investing to see which companies will start showing profits

[WeTheMarket]

UK, what do you make of the following news. Are you still bullish?

Personally, I am very disappointed. They announced a reverse split last year to avoid the OTC, which resulted in the share price crashing. In April of this year they execute the reverse split, the share price crashes even more. Wouldn't we have been much better off without announcing and executing the reverse split?

Lightning eMotors, Inc. (ZEV) will change its trading symbol to ZEVY effective September 19, 2023, due to the listing of the company on an OTC market.

Highlights
- GAAP revenue of $7.9 million, the second highest quarterly revenue in company history
- Adjusted revenue of $8.2 million from sales of 70 units, excluding $0.3 million of recall-related costs
- Produced 46 units during the quarter, consisting of vehicles, powertrains, and mobile DC fast chargers
- Nearly 5 million driven miles, compared to 2.2 million a year ago
- Full year revenue guidance of $35-45 million

LOVELAND, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Lightning eMotors, a leading provider of zero-emission powertrains and medium-duty and specialty commercial electric vehicles for fleets, today announced consolidated results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“The second quarter represented the second highest quarterly revenue in our history,” stated Tim Reeser, Lightning Co-founder and CEO. “With the supply issues and associated disruption from the Romeo battery issue now behind us, we are ramping production of our new ZEV4 trucks and buses to meet the growing demand and charting a path towards positive gross margin. We also delivered the first customer units of our Mobile DC Fast Charger and are seeing strong interest in this product.”

Continued Reeser, “During the end of Q2 and into the second half of 2023, we have seen our cash needs reduce materially as we sell through the finished goods inventory built over the last several quarters and use the existing raw materials inventory to build to meet new orders. In addition, we continue to see the benefits of previous cost reduction actions and are well positioned from an inventory perspective to meet our full-year guidance with minimal incremental purchases. While we convert our inventory to cash, we will also continue to seek additional sources of capital in order to strengthen our overall liquidity outlook.”

GAAP revenue was impacted by $0.3 million from the booking of apportioned cost of an accommodation we made to support our customers, as we bought back vehicles with defective Romeo batteries.

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Second quarter production was 46 units, down from 74 units in the first quarter of 2022. Unit sales were 70, compared to 36 in the year-ago quarter. Second quarter revenue was $7.9 million, compared to $3.5 million for the prior year quarter. Excluding customer refunds related to the Romeo battery recall, adjusted revenue was $8.2 million.

Second quarter net loss was $21.4 million, or $3.70 per share, compared to net income of $35.7 million, or $6.94 per diluted share, during the second quarter of last year.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA loss was $17.1 million, compared to a loss of $13.9 million during the same period in the prior year. Adjusted revenue and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. See explanatory language and reconciliation to the GAAP measures below.

Guidance

Based on current demand and supply conditions, the Company expects:

- 2023 revenue to be in the range of $35 million to $45 million
- 2023 unit sales to be in the range of 300 to 350 units
- 2023 unit production to be in the range of 200 to 230 units

We have reduced the top end of our annual revenue guidance from $50 million to $45 million and also lowered the top end of the unit sales accordingly. We reduced the top end of the revenue and unit sales to reflect a change made to conserve cash. We are now only ordering inventory for firm orders, and while we may receive additional orders during the second half of this year we may not be able to obtain the inventory needed to complete the builds in the fourth quarter. We also lowered the unit production range to reflect both the change to a build-to-order model and because we still have a material amount of finished goods inventory to sell.

Webcast and Conference Call Information

Company management will host a conference call on Monday, August 14, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, to discuss the Company's financial results.

UK, agree. Several manufacturers of EV chargers have announced that they will add Tesla's NACS connectors to their chargers in the US market. It is likely to become the standard in the US, and all companies will gradually shift to NCAS connectors in the US, including Lightning eMotors.

Quote "Blink Charging BLNK.O said on Monday it would launch a new fast charger with Tesla's connector, as did ChargePoint Holdings Inc (CHPT.N) and Tritium DCFC Ltd (DCFC.O).

missed this one, I wonder if ZEV are going to join the Tesla compatible crowd? For trucks like this it may be necessary? 80kW charging at a TEsla Super charger my be cheaper than installing high voltage systems at your own depot.

Lightning eMotors Announces Production Launch of Next-Gen Lightning ZEV4™ Work Trucks
June 15, 2023
https://lightningemotors.com/lightning-emotors-announces-production-launch-of-next-gen-lightning-zev4-work-trucks/

- Lightning’s GM-based platform allows the production of highly customized all-electric work trucks
- Production launch of next-gen Lightning ZEV4 offers multiple vehicle types built on a proven platform

LOVELAND, Colo., June 15, 2023 – Lightning eMotors (NYSE: ZEV), a leading provider of zero-emission, medium-duty commercial vehicles and electric vehicle (EV) technology for fleets, announced today a production launch of its next generation General Motors (GM)-based Lightning ZEV4™ work trucks. This announcement follows the company’s recent announcements of accelerated ZEV4 production to meet customer demands for Class 4 school buses and shuttle buses built on the same popular platform.

Lightning is offering the ZEV4 for several vehicle applications, including, but not limited to box trucks, stake bed trucks, utility trucks, dump bed trucks, and daily work/landscaping trucks, in addition to cargo delivery vehicles, shuttle buses, school buses and more.

“Success in the commercial vehicle electrification market frequently revolves around providing customized products to meet the specific use cases of customers. This is where we have carved our niche,” said Lightning eMotors CEO Tim Reeser. “The fact that our trusted ZEV4 platforms can be built to accommodate such a broad set of applications is a huge benefit to our customers and positions Lightning well to be the vehicle manufacturer of choice for the growing medium-duty commercial vehicle market.”

The versatile Lightning ZEV4 model comes equipped with 120 kWh batteries located safely within the frame rails, delivering 241 horsepower, 790 lb-ft of torque and up to 130 miles of range as well as improved weight distribution for better handling and improved safety. The Lightning ZEV4 is capable of Level 2 AC and 80kW DC fast charging.

To help accelerate fleet vehicle electrification efforts, a number of state and federal level funding programs are available across North America to help offset the cost significantly.

- In the United States, state-level programs, including California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), New York’s Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP), New Jersey’s Zero-Emission Incentive Program (NJZIP), and Colorado’s Clean Fleet Vehicle & Technology Grant Program, among others, can provide up to $100,000 in incentives per Class 4 vehicle.
- Federally, the United States’ passing of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure and Jobs Act, and incentives that are part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act – including the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit – have provided billions in new funding for both commercial EV acquisition and EV infrastructure.
- Canadian incentive programs, including Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles Program (iMHZEV), the Zero-Emission Transit Fund and the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program, can not only help offset the cost of fleet vehicle electrification to nearly zero as many of these programs can be stacked, they also provide funding to accelerate the provision of EV charging solutions, both mobile (such as Lightning Mobile) and as installed infrastructure.

“There has never been a better time for Class 4 work truck operators to upgrade their fleets to zero-emission vehicle technology,” said Lightning eMotors CRO Kash Sethi. “Aggressive funding programs – many of which can be stacked to optimize both purchase subsidies and tax incentives – combined with advanced data tracking and insights capabilities and the reliability and proven performance of our GM-based Lightning ZEV4 create a near-perfect environment for operators to act.”

Lightning’s ZEV4 platform is compatible with a variety of bodies from manufacturers including, but not limited to, Knapheide, Rockport Trucks, Brown Industries, and Morgan Corporation. At current production volumes, ZEV4 work trucks are typically available for delivery four-to-six months from the order date.

https://electricautonomy.ca/2023/05/16/126-lightning-emotors-zevs-macnab/

Macnab EV Sales is set to receive 126 electric cargo vans, passenger vans and shuttle buses from Lightning eMotors by the end of 2023

Lightning eMotors, a leading provider of zero-emission commercial electric vehicles, is partnering with Ingersoll, Ont.-based Macnab EV Sales Corp. to bring 126 zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to the province by the end of this year.

This deal marks a significant milestone for both companies. This is the first time Macnab, a commercial vehicle distributor, is entering the commercial EV market, while Colorado-based Lightning eMotors is strengthening its presence in the Canadian market.

“It’s an honour — and a testament to the quality and reliability of our vehicles — to receive this order from Macnab as they begin their foray into commercial EVs,” said Tim Reeser, CEO of Lightning eMotors in a press statement. “We are proud they chose Lightning vehicles for their customer EV offering and look forward to getting these vehicles into customers’ hands this year as we further expand our footprint in Canada.”

The 126-vehicle deal includes a fleet of Lightening’s ZEV3 cargo and passenger vans and ZEV4 shuttle buses.

Deliveries of Lightning’s ZEV3 vans to Macnab are already starting and the full order of vehicles is to be complete by the end of this year. A Lightning eMotors ZEV3 Transit Cargo Van will be available for test drives this week at the EV & Charging Expo in Toronto.

Vanderbilt University to Deploy Lightning eMotors ZEV4™ Electric Shuttle Buses for Intercampus Transit
May 18 2023
https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NYSE/lightning-emotors-ZEV/stock-news/91103723/vanderbilt-university-to-deploy-lightning-emotors

Highlights
- Lightning eMotors supplying Vanderbilt’s first electric shuttles as part of the university’s carbon neutrality goals
- Vehicles expected to be delivered and deployed in Q2 2023

Lightning eMotors (NYSE: ZEV), a leading provider of zero-emission, medium-duty commercial vehicles and electric vehicle technology for fleets, announced today that it is supplying to Vanderbilt University six Lightning ZEV4™ electric shuttle buses. The shuttles are expected to be delivered and deployed in Q2 2023 for the intercampus transportation service, VandyRide.

The zero emission shuttle buses are built on the GM-based Lightning ZEV4 platform and feature 120 kWh of thermally-managed Proterra battery packs that deliver up to 130 miles of range and support both Level 2 AC and DC fast charge capability. Vanderbilt’s vehicles ride on a 159-inch wheelbase and have been upfitted with shuttle bus bodies from Forest River to carry 14 passengers each.

“A top 20 university nationally, Vanderbilt is renowned for its transformative approach to education and research. It is an honor for us to be a chosen fleet electrification provider as they transform their intercampus student transportation to zero-emission, all-electric platforms,” said Jeremy Hiler, sales director, Eastern US at Lightning eMotors. “We are confident drivers, passengers and fleet managers will appreciate the electric performance, quiet ride and reduced maintenance, and of course, the environmental benefits of the Lightning ZEV4.”

Vanderbilt is leasing the initial pilot run of six vehicles from Forest River dealer Carpenter Bus Sales, with charging infrastructure supported by Vanderbilt partner Electrada. The vehicles will also be equipped with Lightning’s leading EV fleet telematics software, Lightning Insights. This real-time telematics and charge management suite features an API for seamless integration with Electrada’s charging infrastructure.

“Vanderbilt is committed to lowering its carbon footprint, so switching to electric vehicles in our shuttle fleet is a top priority,” said Lindsey Ganson, assistant director of mobility at Vanderbilt University. “We’re so excited to have our Lightning ZEV4 shuttles in action before the fall semester begins, and we are looking forward to working with Lightning.”

This EV deployment further establishes Vanderbilt University as a sustainability leader among U.S. colleges. The university recently “flipped the switch” on the 35-megawatt Vanderbilt I Solar Farm in Bedford County, Tennessee, which was first announced in 2020. The location will reduce the majority of the university’s greenhouse gas emissions produced indirectly from electricity purchased from Nashville Electric Service and TVA. A planned second solar farm in Moore County, Tennessee, will supply enough renewable energy to mitigate the remaining emissions.

In 2021, Vanderbilt became the first member of the Association of American Universities to achieve carbon neutrality through its own renewable energy initiatives and a carbon pollution permit collaboration with Climate Vault. Recently, the university announced a new collaboration with Clearloop to further reduce its carbon footprint by investing in additional solar energy projects, the first of which will be located in Batesville, Mississippi. The transition to these new EV shuttles will help Vanderbilt further reduce its direct emissions.
