Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide more details on the e-Boost order with the charging services company, which could be up to $10 million? A: The variables include the sizes and timing of the units they want. We've fixed pricing for buying and leasing and are holding certain inventory for them. We try to get a fix on what they think they'll use over a 24-month period and lock everyone into certain parameters. - Nathan Mazurek, CEO
Q: How does the pipeline mature, and what is the timing for these potential orders? A: We'll announce significant developments in the coming months. Government agencies work at different paces, but they are committed to going electric. Private businesses move faster, and the robotaxi market is now a significant and fast-moving opportunity for us. - Nathan Mazurek, CEO
Q: What are the milestones for the HOMe-Boost product launch, and how do you see it rolling out? A: The launch has been delayed due to mechanical and electrical adjustments. We don't expect revenue from HOMe-Boost in 2025 but anticipate orders in 2025, with acceleration in early 2026. It should become a meaningful revenue contributor in 2026. - Nathan Mazurek, CEO
Q: Should we expect margins to stay at current levels or improve, given that initial buildup costs are now out of the way? A: We aim to improve margins. They should not decrease and are expected to improve in the third and fourth quarters. - Nathan Mazurek, CEO
Q: How will you manage the increased interest and demand with your current capacity? A: For large orders, we use contract manufacturers, like the one in Los Angeles for the 25-unit order. We plan to use a mix of internal production and contract manufacturing, with no current plans to expand capacity in Minneapolis. - Nathan Mazurek, CEO

Gold Wavers as Traders Look to Jackson Hole and Ukraine Talks
(Bloomberg) -- Gold wavered as traders looked ahead to potential interest-rate signals from the Federal Reserve's annual gathering in Jackson Hole, as well as high-stakes diplomacy in Washington over efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Bullion traded in a narrow range over the past few sessions. Central bankers from around the world will gather at the retreat in Wyoming starting Friday, with markets largely expecting a reduction in US rates at the Fed's policy meeting next month. A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds The Fed's Raphael Bostic said after a tour of the southeastern US that he's open to adjusting rates soon, citing strains from Donald Trump's import tariffs and high borrowing costs squeezing business profits. Lower rates typically benefit gold because the precious metal doesn't bear interest. 'Markets increasingly expect the Federal Reserve to strike a more dovish tone at the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium, with traders largely looking past last week's slightly firmer U.S. inflation print,' said Priyanka Sachdeva, an analyst at Phillip Nova in Singapore. 'The broader market view is that inflationary pressures remain on a cooling path.' Meanwhile, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his European allies were arriving at the White House to meet with Trump following his summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin last week, amid apprehension that he'll try to force Kyiv into making unpalatable concessions. Any signs of a ceasefire could ease demand for the precious metal as a haven. Gold has rallied by more than a quarter this year, reaching a record in April. Since then, prices have tracked sideways, with investors following the fallout from the US-led trade war, concerns over the strength of the global economy and geopolitical tensions. Central-bank buying has also helped to support bullion. Gold was little-changed at $3,333.06 an ounce as of 12:37 p.m. in New York. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was up 0.2%. Silver, platinum and palladium edged higher. --With assistance from Laura Avetisyan and Yvonne Yue Li.
