As noted earlier, 2021 revenue through the third quarter was $55 million, up more than 280% versus the prior year period. Our revenues are underpinned by charger sales of 26,000 units in the third quarter, and 66,000 charger sales in the 9 months ended September 30, we can wait also alluded to. Our gross margin for the 9 months ended September 30, 2021, was 39%. While we face of challenges from the global supply chain shortage in the third quarter, our in-house engineering, manufacturing and validation allowed us to continue producing without interruptions, while maintaining an industry leading gross margin. We continue to face logistical adversity involving supply chain issues, but our vertically integrated operations give us much more supply chain optionality on some of our competitors. And now, to talk about our recent transaction, we generated gross proceeds from the merger of $252 million. This is exclusive of build fees of $40 million. The merger closed on October 1, after the end of the third quarter. On a pro forma basis, as is the merger closes on September 30, our cash balance would have been $231 million. We believe that our existing data sources will reach sufficient to meet our capital requirements and fund our operations through 2024 and 2025 where we are expecting to solve EBITDA and cash flow positive, respectively. Finally, our total shares issued and outstanding at the time of merger closed was approximately 161 million. This excludes our [indiscernible] and the impact of any stock options or employee stock purchase power. Thank you for your time, I will now turn back Enric to conclude the call.
