Electrovaya Inc. (TSX: EFL) (OTCQB: EFLVF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the launch of its electric bus lithium ion battery systems with the delivery of a 700V, 300kWh battery. This product launch marks Electrovaya’s entry into the rapidly growing electric bus market.

Electrovaya’s solution leverages the fundamental advantages of its key battery technology:

✔️ Safety: Provides industry-leading safety, as demonstrated in the e-car and e-materials handling sectors, including UL2580 listing for the latter;
✔️ Long Cycle-Life and High Energy Density: Superior long-term performance standards;
✔️ Cost of Ownership: Lowest overall cost of ownership to bus operators and OEMs due to superior cycle life;
✔️ Proprietary Technology: Substantial intellectual property in cells, BMS and systems;
✔️ Modular Design: 100-700 kWh battery systems for e-buses; and
✔️ Fossil-Free Future: Significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

This development was supported by Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC). In 2017, SDTC had signed a C$3.8 million R&D contract with Electrovaya to develop safe and long-lasting lithium ion ceramic batteries for electric buses.

Leah Lawrence, SDTC President and CEO:
