Insights
ZOOZ Power's deployment at the NYPA site tackles a critical bottleneck in EV infrastructure expansion. The ZOOZTER-100 employs an elegant engineering solution to grid constraints through kinetic energy storage using flywheels, rather than traditional chemical batteries.
This approach enables ultra-fast charging capabilities (100+ kW) in locations where the electrical grid lacks sufficient capacity, without requiring costly substation upgrades or demand charges. For utilities like NYPA, this represents a cost-effective path to expand charging infrastructure, particularly in remote or capacity-constrained areas.
The system's value proposition extends beyond merely boosting power - it incorporates energy management capabilities that optimize load distribution and potentially provide grid services. This positions the technology as part of the broader grid-edge infrastructure necessary for electric mobility adoption.
This first utility deployment is significant as power authorities like NYPA serve as both technology validators and potential channel partners. Successfully demonstrating performance at this site could accelerate ZOOZ's market penetration across other utility territories facing similar grid constraint challenges for EV infrastructure deployments.
This NYPA deployment represents a key strategic milestone for ZOOZ Power, providing crucial commercial validation in the U.S. market. For a company with
The EV charging infrastructure market faces a fundamental challenge: grid constraints limit deployment of ultra-fast charging in many locations, creating a bottleneck for broader EV adoption. ZOOZ's flywheel-based solution addresses this specific pain point with a differentiated technology approach compared to battery-based competitors.
While the announcement lacks financial details or deployment scale, this should be viewed as an initial beachhead rather than immediate revenue significance. The true value lies in establishing a footprint with a major U.S. utility that could lead to expanded deployments based on performance data.
For investors, this represents tangible progress in ZOOZ's U.S. market entry strategy. The partnership with NYPA provides both validation and a potential channel for broader deployment if performance metrics meet expectations. However, further commercial traction and deployment expansion will be critical to justify any significant valuation impact for this early-stage clean technology provider.

Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZOOZ Power (Nasdaq and TASE: ZOOZ), a leading provider of flywheel-based power boosters and energy management systems enabling ultra-fast EV charging solutions, is successfully operating its ZOOZTER™-100 kinetic power booster at a New York Power Authority (NYPA) work site in Marcy, N.Y. This, the first deployment of ZOOZ Power’s technology in a power utility in the United States is a significant step toward accelerating the adoption of ultra-fast EV charging in locations with grid constraints.
The ZOOZTER™-100 system, installed in partnership with NYPA, is now actively boosting the grid power and efficiency at the site’s high-power EV charging station. This enables faster and more accessible charging for NYPA fleet and other electric vehicles, delivers extra power to the grid, and intelligently manages the energy distribution with its energy management solution. By leveraging advanced flywheel technology, the system delivers high-power bursts to chargers without placing excessive strain on the local grid, demonstrating a sustainable and cost-effective solution for expanding charging infrastructure.
ZOOZ Power and NYPA are closely monitoring the site’s performance to optimize operations and assess the potential for broader implementation at additional locations.
Launching this first U.S. deployment in the utility market marks an important step in ZOOZ Power’s expansion in North America and its mission to provide high-power, sustainable EV charging solutions worldwide.
"We are thrilled to see our ZOOZTER™-100 in action at this New York Power Authority site and to be able to contribute to the expansion of ultra-fast charging capabilities in New York," said Erez Zimerman, CEO at ZOOZ Power. "This successful site showcases our commitment to supporting the transition to cleaner transportation with innovative, energy-efficient solutions. The ZOOZTER100’s operation demonstrates how it can assist companies to deploy ultra-fast charges without gird limitations."
Alan Ettlinger, NYPA Senior Director of Research, Technology Development and Innovation said, “The integration of ZOOZ Power’s kinetic power boosting technology at our Marcy site is an example of offsetting grid limitations. As we look to further expand EV fast charging in New York State, it is increasingly important to employ innovative solutions that demonstrate flexibility and reliability."
