Graphex Group announces participation in industry panel discussion on the future of EV batteries, hosted by renewable energy world.
Graphex Technologies LLC, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Graphex Group Limited (NYSE American: GRFX | HKSE: 6128, collectively “Graphex”), a global leader in mid-stream processing of specialized natural graphite used for electric vehicle (EV) Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, announced it will participate in a virtual industry panel discussion hosted by Renewable Energy World, the premier source for the latest news in green energy and storage.
The discussion, titled “Innovations in Battery Technology and Infrastructure Fueling the EV Revolution,” will feature industry leading players including those from The Coretec Group and Blink Charging.
The panel will focus on timely topics facing the electric vehicle industry, including the needs for a domestic supply chain of critical minerals, advancements in EV battery technology and establishing the country’s charging infrastructure.
As an international technology company, Graphex is currently among the top 10 suppliers of specialized spherical graphite to the EV and renewable energy industries with a global expansion strategy that is aligned with energy transition and electrification efforts worldwide. The panel discussion will allow Graphex to share their deep expertise with those interested in learning more about the future holds for the EV industry.
Executives on the panel will include:
- Graphex Group Technologies (NYSE: GRFX), a graphite processor and manufacturer, will be represented by its CEO, John DeMaio;
- The Coretec Group (OTCQB: CRTG), the panel sponsor and silicon anode developer for lithium-ion batteries will be represented by its CEO, Matt Kappers;
- Blink Charging (NASDAQ: BLNK), owner and operator of EV charging equipment services, will be represented by its President and Chief Executive Officer, Brendan Jones.
John DeMaio, CEO of Graphex Technologies, said:
With Graphex uniquely positioned for the electrification movement in mobility, we look forward to a lively discussion during the Renewable Energy World webcast.
“Critical minerals are often overlooked in conversations around the outlook of EV’s, but it’s necessary to address the supply picture for minerals such as natural graphite in North America which is marked by a significant shortfall in the availability of the necessary volume of graphite needed to meet projected demand.”
“Graphex’s proven mid-stream processing expertise is solving an industry wide supply-demand gap by delivering an end-to-end supply of graphite from mine to battery with facilities to be located in North America.”
The free, hour-long, online panel discussion will be held on Thursday, May 11, at 10:00am EST. Anyone interested in attending the virtual panel may register for it here. If interested, attending registrants can receive a certificate of attendance at the conclusion of the event. Additional questions about the style or subject matter of the discussion can be submitted here.
