Modules utilize a new 51Ah cell format both of which received UN38.8 certification
Further demand for the new battery module expected in the Japanese market for other OEM opportunities with sales through Sumitomo Corporation Power and Mobility
Further strengthens the Company's leadership position in the market for industrial and heavy-duty vehicles
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2025 / Electrovaya Inc. ("Electrovaya" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ELVA)(TSX:ELVA), a leading lithium-ion battery technology and manufacturing company, is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed shipment of its first battery modules to Japan from its Canadian manufacturing facility. These modules were custom designed for a global construction equipment OEM and feature a new NMC based 51Ah cell format that features Electrovaya's proprietary Infinity technologies which significantly enhance safety and cycle life performance. Prior to the shipment, the new 1.5 kWh modules passed third party UN38.3 testing at TÜV SÜD.
Electrovaya's planned cell manufacturing in Jamestown New York will be tooled to produce both its current 54Ah cell format which is utilized in all existing product lines and the new 51Ah cell format which feature the same chemistry and performance attributes but provides form factors that accommodate the needs of distinct customers. The Company decided to tool the Jamestown plant for both form factors due to anticipated demand for both products.
"We're excited to introduce this new cell and module format, as well as to commence product shipments to Japan-a significant milestone that reflects the growing global demand for our lithium-ion battery technology," said Dr. Raj DasGupta, CEO of Electrovaya. "These modules, specifically engineered for construction and earthmoving equipment, represent another step forward in expanding the use of Electrovaya's technology in heavy-duty applications that require exceptional performance and safety."
