Financials

Lion Electric's revenue rose to US$41 million in the second quarter, up from US$11.9 million in the same quarter a year ago.

The sales volume of 116 units was the reason for the increase in revenue. The global supply chain issues continued to have an impact on revenues. The company had excess inventory because they couldn't finish assembly of some vehicles.

The net loss per share was nine cents, compared with 60 cents a year ago.
