Insights

Energy Storage Technology Expert

Electrovaya's entry into the energy storage market leverages its Infinity Technology to offer superior safety and longevity in a growing sector.

Electrovaya's launch of Energy Storage Systems (ESS) represents a strategic diversification from its established battery business into the rapidly expanding stationary storage market. The company is leveraging its proprietary Infinity Technology to address critical pain points in energy storage: cycle life, safety, and total cost of ownership.

The technical differentiation centers on longevity and safety features, which are paramount concerns for high-value applications like data centers and grid infrastructure. By manufacturing in their Jamestown, NY facility with vertical integration from cells to complete systems, Electrovaya positions itself to capture significant tax incentives (30-40% Investment Tax Credits) under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

What's particularly notable is how Electrovaya is targeting its existing customer base first, suggesting a lower customer acquisition cost for initial deployments. Their containerized 2MWh format aligns with industry standards while emphasizing cycle life advantages that directly impact ROI calculations for storage projects.

The deployment timeline (initial deployments in 2026, larger scale in 2027) indicates this is a forward-looking revenue stream rather than an immediate financial catalyst. However, the strategic timing coincides with accelerating grid modernization initiatives and data center expansion projects that increasingly require reliable backup power systems with enhanced safety profiles.

From a competitive standpoint, Electrovaya's vertical integration model provides supply chain security advantages in a market where battery component availability has been challenging, potentially giving them stronger margin protection compared to integrators who assemble third-party components.

Energy Storage Systems will be based on Electrovaya's proven technology and includes cells, modules and packs manufactured in the USA, enabling strong ITC Incentives

Initial systems offer over 2MWh of storage capacity in a 20' containerized format with leading cycle life and featuring Electrovaya's proprietary safety technologies

New product will target a wide variety of energy storage applications with strong initial interest from existing high profile customer base

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Electrovaya Inc. ("Electrovaya" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:ELVA)(TSX:ELVA), a lithium-ion battery technology and manufacturing company, today announced the commercial launch of its next-generation Energy Storage Systems ("ESS"), developed to address the growing demand for safe, durable, and cost-effective stationary energy storage solutions.

Electrovaya's ESS products are built on the Company's proprietary Infinity Technology, which delivers:

• Industry-leading cycle life: enabling significantly longer service duration and reducing replacement frequency.

• Enhanced safety: with robust thermal stability and fail-safe architecture that minimize thermal and failure risk.

• Lower life cycle cost: through reduced operating expenses and extended system longevity.

• These benefits translate into superior durability, safer customer assets, and stronger economic returns, making the systems ideally suited for grid support, renewable energy integration, microgrids, backup power, data centers, hyperscalers and behind-the-meter applications.

U.S. Manufacturing and Vertical Integration

Electrovaya's ESS will be manufactured in the United States at its vertically integrated facility in Jamestown, New York. The Company controls production from the cell level through to complete systems, ensuring consistent quality, supply chain security, and eligibility for domestic content incentives under U.S. policy frameworks, including under the recent One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA). Under this provision, Electrovaya's ESS are expected to be eligible for 30-40% Investment Tax Credits.

This vertical integration also supports scalability as demand accelerates for large-format ESS, positioning Electrovaya as a strategic supplier in North America's rapidly expanding energy storage market.

Strategic Market Opportunity

The global stationary energy storage market is already large and projected to grow significantly over the next decade, fueled by increasing renewable energy adoption, grid modernization efforts, and growing demands for resiliency. Electrovaya's Infinity-based ESS solutions offer a differentiated value proposition for data centers, hyperscalers, and behind-the-meter (BTM)applications. Compared to conventional lithium-ion systems, Electrovaya's entry leverages its proven Infinity technology which enables significantly improved safety and longevity, key performance attributes for energy storage use cases where safety, life cycle cost, and reliability are critical.

"Electrovaya has a long track record of developing advanced lithium-ion systems for mission-critical applications," saidDr. Raj DasGupta, CEO of Electrovaya. "With our ESS launch, we are extending these capabilities into the stationary market, offering customers a technology that is safer, lasts longer, and delivers the lowest total cost of ownership."

Availability

Electrovaya's new ESS products are available for order in North America, with initial deployments expected in 2026 and larger scale deliveries in 2027. The Company is engaged with customers across multiple sectors, including with its existing customers of material handling battery products.

Electrovaya will be exhibiting at the RE+ Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, from September 9-11, 2025, at Booth F17153 in Caesars Forum. Stop by to explore our Infinity Battery solutions, engineered for safety, longevity, and sustainability.
