Interviewer: Justin to my left, and Enric down at the bottom, how are you all doing today. Good. Jason, thank you. I guess real quick lets just run through do some introductions, Justin youre from Kensington, introduce yourself and then well have Enric introduce himself.
Justin:
Sure thing, Jason. Yes, my name is Justin Miro and Im the chairman, CEO of Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp., New York Stock Exchange ticker KCAC. We are a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. This is our second SPAC. The first SPAC that we had last year we merged with a company called Quantumscape makes lithium metal solid-state batteries. This second SPAC we announced earlier this year and we announced a merger agreement with Wallbox. My team myself and my team were all automotive experts. Theres 10 of us as part of Kensington collectively we have over 300 years of automotive experience, and we continue to be the only SPAC with deep automotive experience both operationally financially, strategically, so were very excited today to be on your show Jason and talk about Wallbox, which meets all of our investment criteria as an automotive SPAC. But, you know, more importantly, you know, we see this as a huge opportunity to allow mainstream investors like your followers to learn about a green technology that is currently being sold around the world, and almost 70 countries, and were bringing that company here to the New York Stock Exchange, to allow investors to invest directly. Thank you, Jason.
Interviewer: Yes, sir. Thank you, thank you for being on and sharing that quite, quite a rad deal with Quantumscape for sure, amazing tech, looking forward to the future of that one as well. Yeah. Take a moment and introduce yourself as well.
Enric:
Perfect. Thank you, Jason. Im the CEO and co-founder of Wallbox, Ive been all my professional life working the electric vehicle charging industry. First, I started creating todays standards for charging at home, or charging in the public space so when you bring an electric car with a charger, and things are compatible and just work. That was my main job. And then I moved to Tesla when I was the responsible at the European level for all home charging activities, and inside test I realized that the key to a possiblities. The transition to electric cars was first of all, to solve home charging at home charging
condominiums, so six years ago, we, together with environmental co founder, we decided to leave our jobs, to create mobile apps, and today were making this possible not only at home and at work but also in the public space, and were not only making cars to charge and starts to move. We are seeing a huge opportunity on using the electric vehicle battery storage for the home. And for the lead because the electric vehicle is so big that we can use it to make possible the transition to renewable energies, we use mega to home and legal to read, and our products can do this already.
Interviewer: Very, very good, very, very grateful for you to have you gents on and to have the opportunity to talk about Wallbox. I dont know who may want to take a stab but maybe give a give a brief overview. I know Enric did touch on some of it there, but a brief overview of kind of the business model of Wallbox, because now theres quite a few charges that have come via SPAC and theres also some that already public as well. So, whats the business model of Wallbox.
Enric:
I will start then you can go, Justin. So, first of all, we are the fastest growing company in the space, we have, were providing a full portfolio of products, we have charging so we value charging and discharging we provide the hardware that we sell to terminal factors also installers and distributors will provide a software platform that is a software as a service where people connect to our platform that pays five euros a month, or $5 a month, currently charged and connected for platform with a breakthrough engineering, with the most advanced charging systems in the world, not only AC charging to charge your car. Both ways are, which allows you to charge your car also discharge your car, and use your electrical battery to power your phone, and lets typical battery we can power the home for four days. And we have a technology, and that is called ways Ive got the luxury to do this back to home Im eager to read and use your car when you dont have power available, or you should use this Europe, relative to save money when the price of energy changes by the hour, is sort of fun so you save money using our products. We truly love their presence in 67 countries today, having a presence in a company is not opening an office or start selling online hiring preferencing means that you have to ship locations to sell on those countries, and we have all of them, we can sell in six continents to sell in the US, in Europe, in China and all the APAC region. So were actually role playing, super important, also is that we are vertically integrated. So we think, supply chain and manufacturing, distribution of our, of our products, so will also allow us to have better margins in the space, we are comparing gross margins, but also the fastest development cycles, we can launch and 35 products faster than anybody else, which is key, you know, to increase our market share, but also especially now with all the chips or locations you know the scarcity of microchips. We own the whole factory which allows us to keep delivering to our customers or not having any problem on the deliveries because we manage this part of the, of the product. And finally the team we have the best team and meeting with the, with the consultant team that has experience of more than 300 years of industry, and their experience in companies. We believe that this is gonna accelerate even more of our business plan.
Justin:
Yeah, you know, Jason I agree with every single thing you said there. But what I would love to highlight is that Wallbox is right now, at this intersection of two of the greatest mega trends that Ive seen in my career, my 30 plus year career in the auto industry in those two megatrends is the electrification of the power train in other words, electric vehicles, theyre here to stay. OEMs are spending 10s of hundreds of billions of dollars to come up with new electric vehicles in 510 years from now, everyones gonna be driving electric vehicles, thats the one huge mega trend, and Jason as you pointed out, theres lots of EV charging companies that are going after that mega trend. Wallbox is different than the fact that you just are in real estate, what Max is the only company that is going after the other megatrends, and that is the green initiatives around energy consumption and utilization. In other words, how are we powering our homes or businesses, you know, how are we using the precious resources we have in our world today, and people are becoming much more aware of that. And so, being able to take that mega trend of energy management and vehicle, electricity and putting them together. Wallbox is the only company in the world doing that. Thats what gets us so excited to Kensington, you know, the other point. Listen, my background is also many years in finance, you heard and reinvention industry leading gross margins company has more of a 40% gross margin. This is a company that is making money today, selling products in over 60 countries. Thats very important. Theres a lot of companies out there that claim, things that they want to do. They either cant do it or they cant do it profitably. So here we have a company with the right vision, the right products to the right market.
Enric:
In Europe, well have a factory in China that serves to the Chinese market. And now, is building the capacity more capacity in the US took into the role the US.
Interviewer You know, I think you guys are pretty much covered most of the topics that I wanted to cover I guess I can, you know, give you guys an opportunity here to speak on anything that you felt like may not have covered or missed and then, you know, its, well be at about 30 minutes and I dont want to go too long so Ill give you guys the floor and let you guys, you know, talk about anything that you feel like we need to.
Justin:
Sure you know may Ill just Ill start it over in ring to wrap up, but you know Jason your last question there in terms of the expansion, you know this transaction that we recently announced here between Kensington and Wallbox. It is really to facilitate that global expansion. As part of this transaction. We raised $330 million for the company, thats a combination of the $230 million in our SPAC trust in the 100 million dollars in a pipe that we raise that capital is used to accelerate and fulfill the business plan that we put in that investor presentation deck that you can see online. And as you can see in that it is to expand manufacturing capacity, something that me and my team at Kensington were very comfortable with. We build plants around the world. we know how to employ hundreds of millions of dollars to build manufacturing plants, so as to build those plants but its also to facilitate the massive working capital growth. That is to build inventory to build, accounts receivable to expand in all of these markets that and weve just mentioned. And, you know, its very important to make sure that we have that capital in places and read mentioned, a lot of companies are struggling with their supply chain right now, theyre not getting semiconductor chips for example, weve secured all with our capital, and obviously good management. So we have the ability to grow in what we believe were not even in the first inning here of this electric vehicle transformation. And so when we see this accelerate, were going to have the capital, were going to have the products, were gonna have the feet on the ground and all these markets to expand here. Enric, any last thoughts?
Enric:
Much to just, just say, really excited. With the combination here we can see, we share the same passion for the vehicles, but more importantly is that we share the vision that the electric car will play a key role in on in the energy transition to renewable energies, and our products today are really making this possible.
Interviewer: All right, excellent. Well, like I said, I really appreciate you just coming on, then a fantastic conversation. Hopefully this gets the message out love, you have a great rest of your day. Perfect. Thanks. Now, I will go.
