Current report

The U.S. trade policy environment has shifted materially since our last filing. The U.S. Supreme Court's February 2026 ruling invalidating the U.S. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) based tariffs has prompted the Administration to re-anchor tariff measures under different statutory authorities, including Section 232 (national security) and Section 301

(unfair trade practices), supplemented in the near term by a 15% temporary global import surcharge (non-automotive) under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 currently set to expire on or around July 24, 2026. Tariffs imposed under Section 232, including a 25% duty on certain semiconductors and advanced electronics components effective January 2026, and Section 301 remain fully operative and may have more durable statutory footing than prior IEEPA-based measures. In addition, active or recently initiated investigations under Section 232 and Section 301 may result in additional tariffs covering metals, semiconductors, batteries, power and grid equipment, and components sourced from key manufacturing economies, creating material forward-looking risk to our cost structure.

Current report

In the first quarter of 2026, we entered into an agreement to serve as a dealer for Windrose Technology, Inc.’s electric long-haul truck products (the “Windrose Dealer Agreement”). We believe this relationship will enable us to address customer and prospect demand for heavy-duty long-range electric trucks that our own manufactured vehicles do not meet. The Windrose Dealer Agreement does not include any minimum volume requirements, and we cannot estimate what volumes or revenues we might achieve from this arrangement, if any.

Previous report

On March 23, 2022, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), which was subsequently amended on June 22, 2023 (as amended, the "SEPA"), whereby we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $125.0 million of our shares of Common Stock at our request any time until February 11, 2026, subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining commitment available under the SEPA was $119.4 million. However, our ability to access the remaining commitment amount may be limited by various factors, including, but not limited to, the availability of an effective registration statement permitting the resale of such shares of Common Stock. In particular, the Company’s access to capital under the SEPA is not available as of the date of this Report and will not be available until the Company files with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the applicable Registration Statement. Moreover, such registration statement only registers the resale of 3,333,333 shares of Common Stock, which is insufficient for us to fully utilize the remaining commitment under the SEPA, given the current market price of our Common Stock. Furthermore, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties, the SEPA is scheduled to expire on February 11, 2026. We used the net proceeds received from sales of Common Stock pursuant to the SEPA for working capital and general corporate purposes and expect similar uses of any remaining proceeds going forward. See Note 9 — Convertible Notes and Note 10 — Equity — Standby Equity Purchase Agreement in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the SEPA.

Previous wording

We expect to derive future revenue from sales of our vehicles, battery systems and other product and service offerings. As many of these products are in development, we will require substantial additional capital to continue developing our products and services and bring them to full commercialization as well as fund our operations for the foreseeable future. Until we can generate sufficient revenue from product sales, we expect to finance a substantial portion of our operations through commercialization and productionand any future capital raising efforts. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements, if any, will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our commercialization efforts.

Previous wording

Fluctuating tariff regimes—particularly those targeting imports of power electronics, battery components, and structural materials—have introduced significant volatility in the Company’s cost structure and procurement planning. The uncertainty around tariff implementation timelines and scope has necessitated frequent adjustments to sourcing strategies, supplier selection, and contract terms.

Current wording

These overlapping and evolving tariff regimes have introduced significant volatility into our cost structure and procurement planning, particularly with respect to power electronics, battery components, and structural materials. The uncertainty around tariff implementation timelines, the scope of new investigations, and the expiration and potential replacement of the current Section 122 surcharge has necessitated frequent adjustments to sourcing strategies, supplier selection, and contract terms. To mitigate these impacts, we have undertaken the following measures:

Previous wording

•reclassification and compliance reviews to ensure correct HTS codes and leverage tariff exemptions or reduced duty programs, where applicable; and

Previous wording

We have been closely monitoring potential changes to trade policies and tariffs in order to proactively adjust and refine our strategy. These actions are aimed at preserving cost competitiveness and securing uninterrupted supply amid a fluid and unpredictable trade policy environment. Notwithstanding these efforts, the ongoing tariffs and regulatory changes may affect our ability to source components from specific regions or maintain access to critical suppliers.

Current wording

We have been closely monitoring potential changes to trade policies and tariffs in order to proactively adjust and refine our strategy. These actions are aimed at preserving cost competitiveness and securing uninterrupted supply amid a fluid and unpredictable trade policy environment. Notwithstanding these efforts, the ongoing tariffs and regulatory changes may affect our ability to source components from specific regions or maintain access to critical suppliers, and we do not expect the tariff environment to normalize in the near to medium term. The migration of tariff authority from emergency executive powers to Section 232 and Section 301, authorities that are expected to be more legally durable and carry broader industry and country coverage, means that tariff-driven cost pressure and supply chain disruption are likely to remain a persistent feature of our operating environment.

As an early-stage growth company, we have incurred net losses and cash outflows since our inception. We will continue to incur net losses and cash outflows in accordance with our operating plan as we continue to scale our operations to meet anticipated demand and seek to establish our product and service offerings. As a result, our ability to access capital is critical and until we can generate sufficient revenue to cover our operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures, we will need to raise additional capital in order to fund and scale our operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our commercialization, research and development programs and/or other efforts and our ability to continue our operations would be negatively impacted. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. In addition, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and/or seek protection under Chapters 7 or 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This could potentially cause us to cease operations and result in a complete or partial loss of your investment in our Common Stock.
