Electric vehicle markets cont. In Q1-22 a total of 245 369 new passenger plug-in cars were registered in UK and Germany. This is approximately 50 000 less than prior quarter. As shown by the graph below the main reduction comes from Germany.
This is in line with expectation as several car manufactures over the last few weeks have announced that they will reduce or stop production due to supply bottlenecks caused by the Covid19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Internationalisation The export share increased from 57% in Q4 21 to 68% in Q1 22.
Our largest export markets were Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and Island. In addition, Zaptec is in the early phase of penetrating other markets.


1470 car parks ready to go with Zaptec Pro
We managed to prepare a total of 1470 car parks with Zaptec Pro chargers during the quarter. That is up from 844 car park installations in the same quarter last year.
Providing chargers to car parks and making public parking spaces ready for the EV domination, is essential for us. Not only do we have the technology we need to provide faster charging points, but there is also a sizeable future revenue stream for the company. chargers to the same car park several months - or years - later.
There are several parking possibilities in each car park, where typically 20% is equipped with a Zaptec Pro charger.
As the EV demand increases, the car park owner can add multiple Zaptec Pro
Zaptec Pro has been chosen as the large-scale EV charging system in Europe for over 11.000 large buildings and parking facilities.

Market development during Q1 2022
We are continuously getting our cutting-edge technology out and about. In Q1, Toyota Norway announced to become an official supplier of Zaptec Go's in connection with the launch of their first electric car, the Toyota bZ4X. They believe that the choice of having an electric car charger is a natural step in the customer journey. Development Manager, says: "We want a charger that meets our customers' expectations, and Zaptec ticks off all customer requests." We even signed a new agreement with Eways in the Swedish market. Both
In the press release, The Toyota Norway representative Alf Moland, Beyond Zero
companies believe that the collaboration will strengthen the position in the Swedish market. Eways was founded in 2015, has 85 employees and is managing over 16 000 charge points. that the Zaptec Go home charger was awarded the 2022 Red Dot Design Award
In March, we received information from the international and prestigious Red Dot for best product design. The biggest challenge with making the Zaptec Go was creating a charger that
people wanted to have on their walls. The Red Dot award is an external confirmation of excellent design we deeply take pride in receiving.

Production
Production levels were lower than planned during the quarter due to shortage in components, which resulted in a backlog of both Zaptec Pro and Zaptec Go chargers at the end of first quarter. The backlog is expected to be delivered during the second and third quarter.
Sourcing of electronic components continue to be challenge to all due to high demand and the global situation with challenges in supply chain, especially on component sourcing from China. Zaptec have acted both technically and within supply chain to prevent further delay in production. Expanded production capacity at Westcontrol in addition to new production lines Zaptec's growth targets.
at Sanmina from the fourth quarter 2022 will secure production required to meet

Outlook
The current global macro political environment has impacted component sourcing and logistics for many businesses, and most car manufacturers now have significant lead time on deliveries of their EV models. However, Zaptec regard this as a temporary challenge, and improved access to components has already materialized. Westcontrol restarted production of chargers the last week of April and Zaptec
expect to maintain the trajectory towards previously announced strong growth projections.
Global commitments towards sustainable energy and the shift towards e-mobility remains resolute and unchanged.
Target EBITDA margin in the range of 15-20%.
