ELECTROVAYA-LITARION INTRODUCE 40AH LITHIUM ION CELL WITH BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY DRIVING THE COST AND SAFETY BARRIERS

Electrovaya Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Litarion GmbH, have introduced a unique 40-ampere-hour lithium ion cell (Litacell LC-40) to OEMs and battery pack integrators worldwide.

The Litacell-LC40 features an unparalleled combination of safety, cycle life and cost. For the first time, OEMs and battery pack integrators can now purchase stand-alone cells that feature the combined innovation and experience of the newly integrated Electrovaya and Litarion. The new 40 Ah Litacell promises extraordinary cycle and calendar life (nearly 9,000 cycles at 1C/1C and 100 per cent DoD), unique safety properties due to the unparalleled stability of Separion flexible ceramic separator membrane, stringent quality standards and excellent pricing options. The 40 Ah Litacell contains optimized NMC/graphite-based electrode chemistry.

"Lithium ion cells have cost and safety challenges, and the Litacell LC40 provide the breakthrough technology with capability to drive down holistic costs by an amazing 50 per cent while providing unparalleled safety," said Dr. Andre Mecklenburg, chief operating officer of Litarion. "Nearly 20,000 electric cars from a leading German OEM are on the road today with zero safety incidents, a rare feat in electric vehicles, a compliment to our unique ceramic embedded separator, Separion, and our world-class electrodes, which now drives the Litacell technology."

"Litacell 40 Ah cells are now available to customers in Europe, North America and elsewhere, where the market demands highest safety and lowest holistic cell costs," says Dr. Rajshekar Das Gupta, vice-president, business development, at Electrovaya. "We believe this technology should become the industry standard for the electric vehicle and energy storage markets."

We seek Safe Harbor.
