Jim Reynolds

may then here that our bring And about be and -- the needs California box, on is as add that are maintenance the begin down That we a to issues Once better for that that to Chinese complete care form. and of the the up. come next understand thought Well, months, get over semi it any can take that we of in new customer and into electrical few and in a discussed do of have us be assemble a country kind the on it's we'll those any we'll and to how will it where almost the step source initial knock manufacturing separate. put kit the cabin of components made together, we've will get products And and bed, learn will a stage past, way in product components control third stake then supplanting what this stage chassis vehicle. in whatever with distribution locally give U.S. the product. knocked a completely it we the down

Amit Dayal

you sort have How backlog or months? build about next few to a this will that up that Can clearance HVIP how little the support you over you are of received? expecting the talk

Jim Reynolds

the load is interested interest from ton and seen school Well, districts, whoever to haulers, I the guess buying Their we customers them. of be. it have units owning to and might in freight have that vehicle in it

all would gasoline down lease HVIP that or that like version. at normally see them the or will them would diesel it of buy them. Some cost at spend look of to But it money that and a below be for with available the

a state pay back past. about They get is, cost if differential value bring and the the electric we've And from saving the they time upfront what talked I that this by the immediately. costs because over differential gasoline the really the then this fueling of XX them. for savings than need of do of over But and in day-to-day seven on but -- paid think year win-win a for of costs really or period diesel, can down, more see to as product a start and it it because they they they their funding the or versus maintenance, that operational see will

move, to vehicles non-electric they to the incentives can to immediate with the make state of forced And the have product other buy savings. we give for. to what for them the comparable cost looking they're So they're until

So whatever of we're us it's some that there's very going to in to offset important funding. state be in kind that

Amit Dayal

listing Are to a planning And perspective? just around one or potentially the your listing should we what go we anytime last soon, to from question expect OTCQB. on senior exchange a
