SCHOOL BUS UON LION LION ELECTRIC LIONC IKEA VERO ELECTRIC MONOKLING LIONM 100% ELECTRIC CIKEAS BOW B LION Investor Presentation May 2022#2Disclaimer FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation (together with oral statements made in connection herewith, this "Presentation") contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Any statements contained in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about Lion's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "may," "will," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "could," "plan," "project," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "target" or other similar expressions and any other statements that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company's order book, the Company's long-term strategy and future growth, the Company's battery plant and innovation center project in Quebec and its U.S. manufacturing facility, and the expected launch of new models of electric vehicles. Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of estimates and assumptions that Lion believes are reasonable when made including, but not limited to, that Lion will be able to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners, that Lion will continue to operate its business in the normal course, that Lion will be able to implement its growth strategy, that Lion will be able to successfully and timely complete the construction of its U.S. manufacturing facility and its Quebec battery plant and innovation center, that Lion will not suffer any material disruption in the supply chain or parts, components and raw materials, on competitive terms, that Lion will be able to maintain its competitive position, that Lion will continue to improve its operational, financial and other internal controls and systems to manage its growth and size and that its results of operations and financial condition will not be adversely affected, that Lion will be able to benefit, either directly or indirectly (including through its clients), from govemment subsidies and economic incentives in the future and that Lion will be able to secure any required additional funding through equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to Lion. Such estimates and assumptions are made by Lion in light of the experience of management and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. However, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Lion believes that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: any adverse changes in the U.S. and Canadian general economic, business, market, financial, political and legal conditions, including as consequences of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of COVID-19 variants and varying rates of vaccination amongst various countries; any adverse effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, which is increasingly affecting economic and global financial markets and exacerbating ongoing economic challenges, including issues such as rising inflation and global supply-chain disruption, Lion's inability to successfully and economically manufacture and distribute its vehicles at scale and meet its customers' business needs; Lion's reliance on key management and any inability to attract and/or retain key personnel; Lion's inability to execute its growth strategy; Any unfavorable fluctuations and volatility in the cost of labor, components, parts and raw materials used to manufacture Lion's products; Lion's reliance on key suppliers and any inability to maintain an uninterrupted supply of components, parts and raw materials; Lion's inability to maintain its competitive position; Lion's inability to reduce its costs of supply over time; any inability to maintain and enhance Lion's reputation and brand; any significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls; any failure of information technology systems or any cybersecurity and data privacy breaches or incidents; the reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives or the reduced need for such subsidies; natural disasters, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, boycotts and geo-political events; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company from time to time. These and other risks and uncertainties related to the businesses of Lion are described in greater detail in section 23.0 entitled "Risk Factors" of the Company's MD&A for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and in Item 3.D entitled "Risk Factors" of the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Many of these risks are beyond Lion's management's ability to control or predict. All forward-looking statements attributable to Lion or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained, and risk factors identified, in the Canadian Prospectus, the Registration Statement and other documents filed with the AMF and the SEC. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required under applicable securities laws, Lion undertakes no obligation, and expressly disclaims any duty, to update, revise or review any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise and such forward looking statements only speak as of the date they are made. INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA Although all information and opinions expressed in this Presentation, including market data and other statistical information (including estimates and projections relating to addressable markets), were obtained from sources believed to be reliable and are included in good faith, Lion has not verified the information and makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to its accuracy or completeness. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of Lion, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as independent sources. This Presentation contains preliminary information only, is subject to change at any time and, is not, and should not be assumed to be, complete or to constitute all the information necessary to adequately make an informed decision regarding your engagement with Lion. While the Company is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry and market data presented in this Presentation, such data involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those factors discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" above. The Company has no intention and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any such information or data, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. FINANCIAL INFORMATION; NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER PERFORMANCE METRICS The Company reports its financial results in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). This Presentation makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, and other performance metrics, including the Company's order book. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. Please refer to Appendix A for additional details and the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA (including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, net loss), and the Company's order book. Please also refer to the Company's management discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Company's earnings release dated May 3, 2022, which are available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company's EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov. CURRENCY All amounts in this Presentation are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Energy costs are estimated at $0.10/kWh for electric vehicles across all platforms. Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) cost and consumption for diesel are estimated at $3.50/gallon and $5.00/gallon and 3.0% of fuel, respectively, for all diesel platforms. All truck platforms assume a residual value of 10% and all bus platforms assume no residual value. The TCO with respect to buses has been calculated taking into account the impact of subsidies, which are dependent on geography and governmental laws, regulations and programs which are subject to change from time to time. For purposes of this presentation, it is assumed that grants and subsidies will represent approximately 50% of the purchase price for a vehicle sold in Canada, and approximately 30% for a vehicle sold in the United States. The TCOs have also been calculated using the following additional assumptions: 26 LION6 LIONC Assumed Mileage 52,000 13,500 Consumption 1.26 kWh/mile (vs 7.00 miles/gallon for diesel) 1.18 kWh/mile (vs 5.50 miles/gallon for diesel) Maintenance & Repair Costs $0.16/mile (vs $0.40/mile for diesel) $0.22/mile (vs $0.54/mile for diesel) LION ELECTRIC#28Appendix C - Non-IFRS Measures and Other Performance Metrics Adjusted EBITDA - "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net earnings (loss) before finance costs, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for share-based compensation, changes in fair value of share warrant obligations, foreign exchange (gain) loss and transaction and other non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, IFRS. Lion believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Lion's financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. However, readers should be aware that when evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, Lion may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, Lion's presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that Lion's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Lion's computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly entitled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion. The following table reconciles net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021. 27 ■ .

LION ELECTRIC#29Appendix C - Non-IFRS Measures and Other Performance Metrics Order Book Methodology 28 General Principle: The company's vehicle and charging stations order book, expressed as a number of units or the amount of sales expected to be recognized in the future (at the applicable time of delivery) in respect of such number of units, is determined by management based on purchase orders that have been signed, orders that have been formally confirmed by clients or products in respect of which formal joint applications for governmental subsidies or economic incentives have been made by the applicable clients and the company. The vehicles included in the vehicle order book as of May 3, 2022 provided for a delivery period ranging from a few months to the end of the year ending December 31, 2025. Substantially all deliveries are subject to the granting of subsidies and incentives with processing times that are subject to important variations, and there has been in the past and the company expects there will continue to be variances between the expected delivery periods of orders and the actual delivery times, and certain delays could be significant. Such variances or delays could result in the loss of a subsidy or incentive and/or in the cancellation of certain orders, in whole or in part. The company's presentation of the order book should not be construed as a representation by the company that the vehicles and charging stations included in its order book will translate into actual sales. Delivery Periods: The company's order book refers to products that have not yet been delivered but which are reasonably expected by management to be delivered within a time period that can be reasonably estimated and includes, in the case of charging stations, services that have not been completed but which are reasonably expected by management to be completed in connection with the delivery of the product. Purchase orders and applications generally provide for a time period during which the client expects delivery of the vehicles. Such period can vary from a specific date, a number or range of months after the issuance of the order or application, or a calendar year. The vehicles included in the vehicle order book as of May 3, 2022 provided for a delivery period, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in each order (which, in substantially all cases as further discussed herein, relate to the approval of governmental subsidies and grants), ranging from a few months to the end of the year ending December 31, 2025. Delivery periods are disclosed from time to time by the company when available in respect of material orders. Delivery periods should not be construed as a representation or a guarantee by the company that the actual delivery time will take place as scheduled. Given the nature of the business and the products of the company, the implied lead time for the production and delivery of a vehicle (which may be impacted, among other things, by supply chain challenges or changes in specifications), the nature of certain customers of the company (in many cases, fleet owners operating capital intensive operations which require financing and ongoing scheduling flexibility), and the fact that, as further described herein, substantially all deliveries are subject to the granting of subsidies and incentives with processing times that are subject to important variations, there has been in the past and the company expects there will continue to be variances between the expected delivery periods of orders and the actual delivery times, and certain delays could be significant. Such variances or delays could result in the loss of a subsidy or incentive and/or in the cancellation of certain orders, in whole or in part. See "Ongoing Evaluation; Risk Factors" below. Pricing: When the company's order book is expressed as an amount of sales, such amount has been determined by management based on the current specifications or requirements of the applicable order, assumes no changes to such specifications or requirements and, in cases where the pricing of a product or service may vary in the future, represents management's reasonable estimate of the prospective pricing as of the time such estimate is reported. A small number of vehicles included in the order book have a pricing that remains subject to confirmation based on specifications and other options to be agreed upon in the future between the applicable client and the company. For purposes of the determination of the order book and the value allocated to such orders, management has estimated the pricing based on its current price lists and certain other assumptions relating to specifications and requirements deemed reasonable in the circumstances. Performance Metric: The order book is intended as a supplemental measure of performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, IFRS, and is neither disclosed in nor derived from the financial statements of the company. The company believes that the disclosure of its order book provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating the company's performance, market penetration for its products, and the cadence of capital expenditures and tooling. The company's computation of its order book may not be comparable to other similarly entitled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate their order book, order backlog, or order intake in the same fashion. In addition, as explained above, the company's presentation of the order book is calculated based on the orders and the applications made as of the time that the information is presented, and it is not based on the company's assessment of future events and should not be construed as a representation by the company that the vehicles and charging stations included in its order book will translate into actual sales. Ongoing Evaluation; Risk Factors A portion of the vehicles or charging stations included in the company's order book may be cancellable in certain circumstances (whether by reason of a delivery delay, unavailability of a subsidy or incentive or otherwise) within a certain period. Management reviews the composition of the order book every time it is reported in order to determine whether any orders should be removed from the order book. For purposes of such exercise, management identifies orders that have been or are reasonably likely to be cancelled and examines, among other things, whether conditions attaching to the order are reasonably likely to result in a cancellation of the order in future periods as well as any other available information deemed relevant, including ongoing dialogue with clients. Such exercise may result from time to time in orders that have previously been included in the order book being removed even if they have not been formally canceled by the client. The company cannot guarantee that its order book will be realized in full, in a timely manner, or at all, or that, even if realized, revenues generated will result in profits or cash generation as expected, and any shortfall may be significant. The company's conversion of its order into actual sales is dependent on various factors, including those described below and in section 23.0 entitled "Risk Factors" of the company's Annual MD&A, and in Item 3.D entitled "Risk Factors" of the Annual Report. For instance, a customer may default on an order, may become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency or cease its business operations. In addition, substantially all of the orders included in the order book are subject to conditions relating to the granting of governmental subsidies and incentives or the timing of deliveries and, in a limited number of cases, the availability of certain specifications and options or the renewal of certain routes by governmental or school authorities. As a result, the company's ability to convert its order book into actual sales is highly dependent on the granting and timing of governmental subsidies and incentives, most notably subsidies and incentives under the Quebec government's 2030 Plan for a Green Economy, under the Federal's Infrastructure Canada's Zero-Emission Transit Fund ("ZETF"), and under California's Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP). The termination, modification, delay or suspension of any such governmental subsidies and incentives could result in delayed deliveries or the cancellation of all or any portion of such orders, which, in turn, could have a material and adverse effect on the company's business, results of operations or financial condition. The company's conversion of its order book into actual sales is also dependent on its ability to economically and timely manufacture its vehicles, at scale. The company delivered 196 vehicles during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of May 3, 2022, the company's vehicle order book stood at 2,422 vehicles. The execution of the company's growth strategy and the conversion of its order book will therefore require significant ramp-up in its production. While the company's Saint-Jerome facility currently has an annual production capacity of 2,500 vehicles at full scale and it is in the process of establishing its operations at the Joliet Facility and the Lion Campus, the company has limited experience to date in high volume manufacturing of its vehicles. In addition, as of May 3, 2022, approximately 270 units included in the order book, representing a combined total order value of approximately $115 million, related to products which had been developed and were being sold, but that were not in commercial production. Any failure by the company to successfully develop and scale its manufacturing processes within projected costs and timelines could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition.
