Let's go meet them.
15:55
Anthony Headlam, CEO and one of the co-founders of NuVolt.
15:58
NuVolt's developing a fast charging network to support the adoption of electric trucks across the road freight industry.
16:04
We're here at Truck Show X in the Hunter Valley at the moment.
16:06
Behind we've got a whole lineup of electric trucks from different OEMs.
16:12
NuVolt was at this same conference two years ago and two years ago everyone was amazed, hey, wow, look, there's an electric truck.
16:21
So the first observation is two years later, that's not new or novel.
17:48
So for
29:01
is that true I think there's is there one actually no I think we wrote about one which has actually got the mixer part of it is electric as well with a battery on board but anyway I don't know whether that reduces the price of concrete or not but we'll find out in good time so just the cost of sort of you know just putting up a network across the country I mean you sort of have this vision of having you know networks I mean what is it about 60 around the country or something like that by what time can you tell yeah I mean I guess what's that what's 60 times 20 20 million yeah
29:31
Yeah, so if we're going to put round numbers, I think closer to $10 million is probably about the price tag for a site, obviously.
29:43
With the obvious caveat, it depends how big you're trying to build it.
29:47
Certainly, when you look at other markets, and I'll let you chime in, David, and speak to the scale of some of the things in China, but it's hard to make, I think, probably direct comparators, particularly on cost there.
30:00
Certainly when you look at, you know, US and Europe sites, we give or take five MVA grid connections, 12 bays for pull through charging bays is quite, you know, is quite large.
30:17
it tends to be a natural constraint on how big sites get because actually you just, there's only so many trucks you can fit in a particular area of land.
30:28
So, you know, our first site, which will have 12 bays plus some pull-up bays, the next two sites after that are sized at six and six pull-through bays.
34:13
Sorry, Carl.
