Toronto, Ontario – November 19, 2020 – Electrovaya Inc.

• Fire propagation testing
• Electrovaya’s cells were previously certified under UL2580 as a component in 2019
“ We are pleased to see these results following over a year of working with the Electrovaya team on this listing. Given this included over 25 battery models, it was a complicated effort that required a lot of collaboration between Electrovaya and UL” said Holly Tribuzio, Project Engineer for Energy Systems & e-Mobility at Underwriters Laboratories.

“The lithium ion battery industry is going through a massive growth phase, and the importance of safety is a vital concern. This UL certification shows our continued commitment to safety and quality. We are very proud of our entire R&D and Engineering teams for achieving this listing, which also leverages some of the key safety technologies that Electrovaya owns, including critical cell and systems IP. We believe that these technologies will be critical for broad implementation of lithium ion battery technology,” said Dr. Raj Das Gupta, Vice President, Business Development & Technology at Electrovaya.
Electrovaya's batteries feature a ceramic composite separator and are believed to provide industry-leading cycle life, safety, energy and power.
