Recent coverage across major financial and business media continues to highlight the accelerating shift toward electric vehicles, driven in large part by elevated gasoline prices and evolving consumer demand.

Leading outlets including Benzinga have reported growing investor and consumer interest in EV adoption as fuel costs remain volatile, while Forbes has emphasized the sustained upward pressure on gasoline prices as a key catalyst pushing drivers toward electric alternatives.

Financial Times has similarly noted that structural shifts in energy markets are contributing to increased EV adoption globally, and Barron's has highlighted how cost-conscious consumers are increasingly turning to electric vehicles as a long-term solution to fluctuating fuel expenses.

This development positions Elektros at the forefront of a rapidly expanding EV infrastructure market, where efficiency, scalability, and speed are essential.

Elektros is currently exploring two strategic pathways:

• A proposed one-year lease agreement (May 2026 - May 2027), with renewal optionality

• A potential full acquisition of the patent, with terms under discussion

At the core of these opportunities is Elektros' proprietary multi-plug charging architecture, designed to significantly reduce EV charging times.

"We believe our patented technology represents a significant advancement in EV infrastructure," said Shlomo Bleier, CEO of Elektros Inc. "As demand accelerates, the market is prioritizing speed, efficiency, and scalability. Our patented technology has the potential to reduce charging times from 45 minutes or more to approximately five to seven minutes-bringing EV charging closer to the convenience of traditional refueling."

With validation now established and strategic discussions advancing, Elektros is positioned to capitalize on a rapidly expanding market segment where time efficiency and infrastructure innovation are key drivers of value.

While no definitive agreements have been finalized, the company remains focused on opportunities that can unlock meaningful growth and long-term shareholder value.
