largest electric semi-truck charging site in the U.S. at its 30 MW
Megawatt Hub Site in Ohio. Last month, One Energy launched a new
electric semi-truck trial program known as “Just Roll,” inviting
fleet operators to test its new electric semi-trucks, including the
Daimler eCascadia.

and growth plans, (xiv) the ability of One Power to enforce its
current material contracts or to secure long-term or other
committed contracts with new or existing customers on terms
favorable to One Power, (xv) the risk that One Power will need to
raise additional capital to execute its business plans, which may
not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xvi) the risk that
One Power experiences difficulties in managing its growth and
expanding operations; (xvii) the risk of our cyber security
measures being unable to prevent hacking or disruption to our
