Delivers first 700V, 300kWh battery system for an electric bus

"We are delighted to enter this market with our strong and unique product offering," said Dr. Raj Das Gupta, Chief Operating Officer of Electrovaya. "Electrovaya has spent considerable time and effort to develop a solution that meets the demanding application requirements of electric buses. Our technology has a unique blend of cycle life, safety, energy, and power performance that are ideal for this application. We expect to replicate the success Electrovaya has achieved in the materials handling industry, in this emerging electric bus sector."
