Electrovaya Provides a Business Update

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2022 / Electrovaya Inc. ("Electrovaya" or the "Company") (TSX:EFL)(OTCQB:EFLVF), a lithium-ion battery manufacturer with differentiated intellectual property that allows heightened safety and improved longevity, today provided a business update.

Infinity Battery Platform (Safety and Longevity)

Electrovaya's lithium-ion ceramic battery, called the Infinity platform, is a recent technological breakthrough that is based on what the Company calls lithium-ion ceramic technology. It offers best in class safety and longevity, without compromising energy and power. The Company believes that the importance of safety in lithium-ion batteries cannot be overemphasized.

The Company's OEM partner Raymond Corporation ("Raymond") has recently published a white paper on its website, analyzing the performance of the Electrovaya battery versus competitors. The paper illustrates the best in class performance regarding safety and cycle life of Electrovaya's battery. The link to Raymond's white paper may be found here: Raymond Corp. (Click on the link on that page titled "Lithium-Ion Batteries From Energy Essentials Distributed By Raymond®").

Electrovaya's focus is on providing superior safety and longevity for its proprietary lithium-ion batteries. The Company utilizes proprietary ceramic composite cell separator materials, electrolyte and other components, to provide best in class safety and longevity for NMC-based lithium-ion cells. Lithium-ion systems are also protected through advanced battery management and mechanical systems. Electrovaya products are UL certified to UL1642, UL1973 and UL2580 levels

Solid State Battery Platform

Electrovaya is encouraged by the performance of the initial test cells. Patents continue to be filed to protect its proprietary process and materials. This is a highly competitive and topical area, and the Company is carefully protecting its IP. Electrovaya is cycling its cell at room temperature, and continues to see increasing cycle life with minimal degradation. The Company expects to share some of its results as the data accumulates.

Business Development

Electrovaya continues to experience growing demand from new and existing customers for its material handling battery products. Many of the Company's end customers are implementing its products in multiple distribution centers. Electrovaya batteries, powering material handling vehicles, have grown from over 60 locations in September 2021 to more than 80 locations today, covering more than 20 U.S. states. In spite of supply chain challenges, the Company's production team achieved an on-time delivery ("OTD") in 2021 of 96.8%. To date in 2022, OTD is 100%; although there is no certainty that such on-time delivery will continue.

Supply Chain Strategy

Supply chain disruptions currently represent the most significant challenge in meeting customer demand.

Electrovaya is taking steps to reduce supply and cost risks. The Company has entered an agreement, subject to closing, on a manufacturing facility in the United States. The intention is to create a lithium-ion battery assembly, cell, and module plant. This facility when operational could augment Electrovaya's current production, reduce lead times on key components, and eventually reduce component cost and provide a secure supply. The Company will provide more information on this initiative as it progresses. The proposed new facility will complement the work being done by Electrovaya at its two other locations in Mississauga, Canada.
