Commenting on the supply deal, UltraCharge CEO Kobi Ben-Shabat said: “This contract with Roadix is another significant milestone for our cobalt-free, high voltage, lithium-ion battery solution and clearly demonstrates UltraCharge’s ability to customise solutions for specific end-user requirements.
“The Roadix contract is further third-party validation of UltraCharge’s lithium-ion battery solution and comes just six months after our signing of a similar supply deal with Blitz Electric Motors.
“UltraCharge is one of only a handful of pure lithium-ion battery listed companies in the world with the ability to produce a lithium-ion battery and we are well placed to capitalise on the rapidly emerging global opportunities for lithium-ion batteries.
“With two supply contracts now in place we look forward to strengthening our position as the market leaders in the lithium-ion battery market.”
Roadix Urban Transportation CEO Amir Zaid said: “Our company vision is to become a leading global brand in the premium scooter market.

About UltraCharge Limited (www.ultra-charge.net)
UltraCharge is an Israel-based company that is a global leader in identifying, acquiring and developing battery technologies that offer superior qualities and new solutions for the lithium ion and flow battery markets.
UltraCharge has established a battery facility to develop its platform technologies and customising solutions to meet end user requirements, and subsequently meet global market demand.
The Company offers a full lithium ion battery solution with the following suite of intellectual property:
-
Anode for Lithium Ion Batteries : The technology will replace graphite in anodes (negative pole) with nanotube fibers made from titanium dioxide. This has the potential to revolutionise the market for lithium batteries by producing a battery that is safe, has a longer lifetime and is fast charging.
-
Cathode for Lithium Ion Batteries : The technology contains a high voltage LiMnNio cathode that is half the cost of commercial cathodes and can offer a battery solution that has advantages in terms of the voltage, energy capacity and power capacity.
-
Electrolyte for Lithium Ion Batteries : Low cost, high performing electrolyte solution. The intellectual property is around producing a more superior electrolyte salt – LiFSI - which can increase battery lifespan and performance at high and low temperatures.
