As EV Manufacturers Look To Reduce Fire Hazards, Electrovaya Aims To Offer The Safest Lithium Ion Battery In The Industry

Electrovaya Inc.

As electric vehicles (EVs) from Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) and Stellantis NV (NYSE: STLA) catch fire in the wake of Hurricane Ian, manufacturers have placed renewed urgency on finding safer, less fire-prone batteries to power their EVs. The outbreak of EV fires mirrors the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 when over 300 EVs manufactured by Fisker Inc. (NYSE: FSR) caught fire in Newark, New Jersey. To address those serious safety issues, Electrovaya Inc. (OTCQB: EFLVF) has spent decades refining its proprietary Infinity Battery platform to offer one of the safest lithium-ion batteries on the market. Here’s what sets its technology apart from the rest. Solving Lithium Ion Battery Safety Issues Remains An Industry Wide Challenge Leading EV battery suppliers like LG Energy Solution Ltd. (KRX: 373220), Panasonic Holdings (OTCMKTS: PCRFY) and Contemporary Amperex Technologies Co. Ltd. (SHE: 300750) have been working hard to improve the safety of their technology but still face regular recalls. That’s because lithium-ion batteries are fire-prone by nature. The liquid electrolyte that the battery’s charge flows through is a highly flammable solvent.While certain design features can help minimize safety and fire risk, defective materials, damage, or the gradual degradation of materials with time can all make the battery more vulnerable to failure. Electrovaya’s Infinity Battery Aims to Set the Standard for Safety in Lithium Ion Technology To make its Infinity Battery platform as safe as possible, Electrovaya uses a pouch cell design with a proprietary electrolyte optimized to withstand high temperatures and a unique woven ceramic separator that can withstand extreme heat. That design ensures multiple levels of thermal protection to decrease the likelihood of a fire while the pouch cell design offers a final stop-gap safety measure to contain any fire within the sub-module where it ignited, thereby preventing flames from escaping the enclosure. In addition to the safe design of the battery cells themselves, Electrovaya has developed its own cloud-based Battery Management System that monitors battery health, temperature and charging state to anticipate repairs and maintenance needed as well as automatically shut down the battery when it detects unsafe conditions. It’s features like these that helped the battery successfully pass safety testing to receive UL 2580 certification, an industry safety standard for EV batteries. The technology, having already been used to power about 20,000 Daimler smart cars, Electrovaya says batteries with the Infinity Technology has had zero safety incidents to date, making them one of the few lithium ion battery platforms have no known safety incidents. About Electrovaya Inc. Electrovaya Inc. (TSX: EFL) (OTCQB: EFLVF) is a pioneering leader in the global energy transformation, focused on contributing to the prevention of climate change by supplying safe and long-lasting lithium-ion batteries without compromising energy and power. Electrovaya is a technology-focused company with extensive IP, designs, develops, and manufactures proprietary lithium-ion batteries, battery systems, and battery-related products for energy storage, clean electric transportation, and other specialized applications. Company's Infinity line of batteries is focused on commercial vehicles and its Solid State Technology under Development is focused on passenger vehicles.

Alarmed By Frequent Car Smells? AutoTechIQ Can Help You With That

AutoTech IQ

Bad smells are an age-old problem that affects cars to this day, regardless of how modern they are. Although bad car smells are evident, they can be tricky to track down.. So, we’ll share tips to help you detect the bad smell’s root cause in your car and assist you in getting rid of it. Can I eliminate the smell myself? AutoTechIQ suggests that any odd odor coming from the car needs a professional inspection. An analysis of millions of work orders across North America reveals that the problem is commonly more critical than it appears. Taking your car for a Vehicle Health Inspection is highly recommended; this professional procedure shows a snapshot of your vehicle’s health status, pointing to any damage and smell sources. Visit AutoTechIQ.com and use the shop selector to find the best-suited shop in your area. Shops have three certification levels that you can choose from: Certified, Recommended, and Good Standing. You can find easy-to-digest educational content about car smells and how to fix them on AutoTechIQ.com. And don’t worry, you won’t have to read technical lingo and jargon; we make it friendly. What are the most common car smells? We list common problematic car smells below. If you're experiencing any of those, visit AutoTechIQ.com and find the article that matches your experience. Then, send it to your trusted auto repair shop for reference. My Car Smells Like Burning Oil My Car Smells Like Burning Plastic My Car Smells Like Burning Rubber My Car Smells Like Rotten Eggs What other symptoms should I look for? A distinct smell is often the most dominant symptom, but it might not be the only one. For example, a failed serpentine belt pulley makes a burnt rubber odor and can make a noticeable noise. Reoccurring problems are especially concerning, and it is important to describe the context of these issues to your trusted auto repair shop. Knowing the problem's characteristics helps the professional eliminate up to 90% of the potential root causes, saving you a lot of money for unnecessary diagnostics or repair. What should be my budget when taking my car to an auto repair shop? Traditionally, most car owners follow the service interval recommendation provided by their trusted auto repair shop or just go to the shop when problems arise. Most of the time, the latter is the most expensive way of taking care of your vehicle since it adds to each visit’s cost. Using a preventive maintenance plan from your trusted auto repair shop opens opportunities to discuss future expenses or deferred services. You can start budgeting for future expenses and still save money because preventive maintenance is significantly more cost-effective than paying the repair cost when problems occur. Condition-based inspections take the preventive maintenance concept even further. Your auto repair shop conducts a vehicle inspection every time you drop off your vehicle. The results are compared to previous inspection diagnostics to determine wear and tear patterns. Based on those patterns, the shop discusses the best course of action with you. Why is it important to ask for a Digital Auto Checkup? Many auto repair shops listen to your concern and immediately provide a solution. But, in comparison, when you go to any doctor for a symptom checkup, does the doctor immediately diagnose you? Typically, they don’t do that unless you are in the emergency room. Instead, the doctor will order a vital signs check, blood draw, and other testing procedures. The same goes for your vehicle during car service. First, you establish baseline health before addressing the main symptom. The vehicle’s bill of health is called “Digital Auto Checkup” or “ Digital Vehicle Health Inspection.” What do I get from AutoTechIQ as a car owner?? The majority of car owners dread the appointment at an auto repair shop. To counter that, the shops in AutoTechIQ ’s network put education and professional service as top priorities. Additionally, the shops you’ll find in our business directories meet these criteria: The business has at least 100 Google reviews with an average score higher than 4.5 out of 5. A digital vehicle health inspection is consistently relied upon to examine the health of your vehicle and covers at least 35 topics. The documentation of mint and problem conditions uses well-documented images and videos to give you complete transparency.

Why People Aren’t Calling Auto Repair Businesses

AutoTech IQ

In case you haven’t noticed, the world of communications is changing. And that includes customer calls and service requests in the auto repair business. In the past, the automotive repair business centered around phone calls and one-on-one interactions with customers. But today’s customers expect more. Digital communication and education are the foundation of today’s successful auto repair businesses. If you haven’t implemented these changes in your shop, learn about why digital tech has replaced yesterday’s phone communication. 7 Reasons Auto Repair Businesses Aren’t Getting Calls The younger generations grew up using technology, which has changed how they interact with businesses. They no longer want to call a business but prefer to communicate via text, view data-driven estimates and pay with online invoices. In other words, they require more transparency and want to understand the particulars of what they are paying for. In fact, in one study, the majority of those surveyed prefer digital communications when getting car repairs. The advent of digital communication not only gives your customers those benefits, but it also helps you build essential trust as you earn their business. Fewer People Want to Talk Because people prefer to do business digitally, they want instant access to the information that will help them decide which business to go to. One survey shows that 80% of all local searches result in a sale. But that same survey explains that the people doing the local search want to easily find the business’s number, address and product offerings. In other words, they want to skip the call — and the wait to speak with someone — and get all the pertinent information from their phone. Not Optimizing the Mobile Experience Because most people use their phones to make purchases and set appointments, the auto repair shops that have a mobile app that allows for easy online booking will attract those customers. No one wants to wait 10 minutes on the phone trying to set an appointment. Instead, they want to log onto the website, choose from the available appointments, and schedule one. An app allows customers to do things on their own schedule and not have to worry about making a decision while someone is waiting on the other end of the line. Lack of Quality Customer Service What’s worse than having to call a car repair shop for an appointment or an explanation about your car’s issues? Dealing with someone on the phone who isn’t helpful or friendly. If your customers must call your shop, it’s important to ensure they speak with someone who shows they care. And forget about old-school sales techniques when explaining the potential repairs. Today’s customers want digital proof of what’s wrong with the car and what it will take to fix it. Give your customers more emphasis on helpful and specific details to gain their trust. Long Wait Times People want access to quick information online, but that doesn’t mean they don’t expect superior service when they do have to call or interact with a technician. A survey shows that 75% of callers won’t leave a voicemail, and 85% of them will not call you back if you don’t answer the phone. And because many auto repair shops have a reputation for long wait times on the phone and in person, it’s something that needs to be addressed. Ideally, car repair shops will reduce call wait times, drop-off wait times, service wait times and the amount of time it takes to complete paperwork — all in addition to offering digital communication to their customers. Lack of Quality Customer Service Did you know that 90% of people use customer service as a factor when deciding whether to do business with a company? And 58% of those surveyed say they will switch companies because of poor customer service. In the automotive repair business, customer service often comes down to whether a business uses digital communications to allow customers to view their car repair options. These digital reports and estimates make customers feel in control and allow for better decision-making. Lack of Transparency Most people don’t know how to fix their own car, and they look for an auto technician they can trust to do the job for them. If a technician doesn’t explain a needed repair — or worse, recommends an unnecessary repair — they aren’t going to gain the trust of their customers. Today’s customers want digital proof of needed repairs from techs like AutoTechIQ-certified auto repair shops, where a vehicle’s bill of health is the basis of their recommendation. They can view digital reports and feel confident they have full transparency when making decisions. Digital Vehicle Inspections Seeing is believing, as the old saying goes, and that’s true when it comes to auto repairs. That’s why digital inspections are the new norm when it comes to auto repairs. These digital inspections show customers the whole picture of their car’s health with videos, high-resolution photos and detailed notes. And once a customer sees for themself what’s needed, they tend to approve two to three times the amount of work than when given verbal explanations. Give Customers the Control and Confidence They Need The auto repair shops that give today’s customers what they need are the shops that will thrive in this new marketplace. If you haven’t yet used digital communications and reports, contact AutoTechIQ now and find the best shop in your area.

(“Pango”), a developer of the leading mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) parking, vehicle, road services and payment application to potentially protect the lives of three million road users in Israel. Pango will also serve as Eye-Net’s distributor in Israel. Foresight Collaborates with Leading American EV Manufacturer to Enhance Existing ADAS Systems: In September 2022, Foresight signed a paid joint proof of concept (POC) project with a leading American manufacturer of electric vehicles (EVs). The POC project will consist of the technological evaluation and testing of predefined scenarios, through which Foresight intends to demonstrate its ability to create 3D stereo perception with software only. Foresight Enters MOU with Research Institute in Shandong Province, China: In July 2022, Foresight signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Shandong Industry Research Information and Artificial Intelligence Integration Research Institute Co., Ltd (“Shandong Research Institute”), a professional research institute wholly owned by Shandong Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Beidou Jingzong Technology, a company mainly engaged in the research of high-precision seamless positioning, real-time accurate regeneration of scene targets, and control of scene target position. According to the MOU, the parties will develop an obstacle detection system and all-weather, high-precision positioning for unmanned vehicles based on multi-sensor fusion. “We believe that the global market continues to validate the strength and innovation of Foresight’s technology offering,” stated Haim Siboni, Foresight’s chief executive officer. “We recently announced the signing of a commercial agreement with SUNWAY in China, which may yield up to $51 million in revenue over a four-year period. This is the most significant accomplishment to date following a consistent pattern of key business developments.” “Building off of our strategy of establishing joint agreements with leading Tier One manufacturers in multiple global regions, we announced a joint POC project during the third quarter of 2022 with a leading American manufacturer of electric vehicles. We also expanded our presence in the Chinese market through the signing of an MOU with a research institute in Shandong Province. Together with Shandong Research Institute, Foresight will develop an obstacle detection and high-precision positioning system for unmanned vehicles. Following these developments, Foresight will be in a strong position to grow and expand its efforts in some of the world’s most important manufacturing markets.” “The third quarter of 2022 also saw an important breakthrough for Foresight’s wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net. In September 2022, Eye-Net announced the signing of a five-year commercial cooperation agreement with Pango, the developer of Israel’s leading mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) parking, vehicle, road services and payment application. This agreement will see the two companies integrate Eye-Net Protect products into Pango’s app as a software development kit, potentially protecting Pango’s 3 million users by alerting both drivers and other road users about potential oncoming collisions. This cooperation could potentially protect the lives of millions of road users, changing the paradigm of road safety in Israel and demonstrating the potential value of this solution for other regions throughout the world.” Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, amounted to $203,000, compared to $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Foresight Granted 180-Day Extension by Nasdaq to Regain Compliance with Minimum Bid Requirements

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight” or the “Company”), an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced today that it has it received a notification letter from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until May 22, 2023, to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule. Nasdaq's determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company's written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period and if necessary, by effecting a reverse stock split (or change to its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) ratio, as applicable). In a notification letter dated May 23, 2022, Nasdaq had informed the Company that, based on the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company's ADSs no longer met the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement. Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq's Listing Rules, the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until November 21, 2022, to regain compliance. If at any time before May 22, 2023, the closing bid price of the Company's ADSs is at least $1.00 per ADS for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with this Nasdaq rule and this matter will be closed. This current notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's ADSs, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "FRSX". The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs between now and May 22, 2023, and intends to consider available options to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within the second compliance period. The Company’s ADSs will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market during this period, unaffected by the receipt of the written notice from Nasdaq. This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.

Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, Foresight is using forward-looking statements in this press release when it discusses regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, and the timing and effect thereof as well as potentially effecting a reverse stock split or change of ADS ratio.
