Growth Phase started now:

ZapGo has developed a solution to the problems encountered by all the current generation of rechargeable appliances, devices and vehicles: slow charging. Called Carbon-Ion (C-IonTM), in contrast to Lithium-ion, this technology is based on carbon nano-materials including the ‘wonder-material’ graphene. The result is ultra-fast charging – in 5 minutes or less. Note – 7X Funded Grant Projects worldwide

ZapGo is considered the the future of next-gen batteries along with Toyota, Fisker, Graphenano:

4 contenders for next-gen batteries:
“Beyond lithium ion: Solid-state batteries show promise” (February 2020): I think there are only four serious contenders for the next-generation batteries at this moment.
1. Toyota, as described in this article.
2. Graphenano in Spain, with its graphene/polymer battery. They are working with unnamed auto companies and Airbus to adapt the technology.
3. Fisker Inc. in Los Angeles. Its CEO, Henrik Fisker, said their solid-state batteries will be ready before 2023.
4. ZapGo in the U.K. They call their battery a carbon ion battery. It provides a very fast charging/discharging rate like a supercapacitor because the electrons are absorbed/desorbed instead of using chemical reaction. It does not use expensive cobalt and lithium.

Business Model and Market Penetration – It’s not just meant for EV cars/scooters but a lot more. Zap&Go’s business model for the commercialization of its C-Ion® technology is to partner with prominent manufacturers across a spectrum of industry verticals—electric power tools, cordless cleaners, toys, mobile phones, transportation, and the military—who may incorporate the Company’s technology directly into their products.
Electric Vehicles and Bikes Electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to make up the majority of new car sales worldwide by 2040, accounting for 54% of new car sales and 33% of the global car fleet by 2040.


Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) has won an exclusive contract to supply the Gen3 battery system of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. WAE has the partnership setup with ZapGo for the Batteries component.

ZapGo has ambitious plans for the future of C-ion. “We think there will be a two-step process,” Voller predicts. “The first step is that there would be a hybrid of the existing lithium batteries and our cells. Williams Advanced Engineering, part of the Williams Formula One team, are developing a control system to allow a vehicle to use C-ion and Li-ion side by side on the same vehicle. The second stage would be to replace the lithium completely, because it would be much safer and much cheaper.”

Competition - QuantumScape’s data showed its battery cell could charge to 80% of capacity in 15 minutes. Further, it retains more than 80% of its capacity after 800 charging cycles, is non-combustible and boasts nearly double the energy density of high-end commercial lithium batteries. The company isn’t expected to start production of its solid state batteries until 2025. QS has a MCap of $22 Billion at the Pre-Revenue stage. “Unfortunately it takes a long time to get batteries into the market, we have to scale up productions and build technologies,” QuantumScape Founder Jagdeep Singh acknowledges.

I think Zapgo has a better advanced technology than QS, more advanced market utility from a mobile phone to all kinds of electric vehicles (including cars) and will be first going into mass production/market space much before QuantumScape will catch-up in 2025. The current MCap of ZapGo (Symbol - COUV) is $16.9M only with a very small Float of $151 M.

ZapGo is a technology company that has developed a faster charging, environmentally friendly, safer alternative to the lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries that are used today in a range of products, including mobile phones, cordless power tools, and electric cars. The Company’s technology—CarbonIon™ (C-Ion®)—combines the capacity and slow discharge performance of Li-ion batteries with the time to charge, safety, and environmentally friendly features of supercapacitors.

Instant Charging Technology - Zap&Go’s C-Ion® battery technology can be used to achieve instant charging of electronic devices. A plug socket can deliver a maximum of about 3kW. In theory, plugging a phone that has a 3,000mAh battery could result in a full charge in 15 seconds. However, limitations of Li-ion batteries restrict the speed at which the battery can be safely charged, with the charge adaptors designed to slow down charging to protect the batteries. C-Ion® technology does not have the limitations on charge and discharge speed. If C-Ion® cells are added in both the charger and the device, the recharge time (and therefore the down time of products) can be reduced to a few seconds. This works by buffering the required charge in the C-Ion®-equipped charger. A stored charge is built up in the C-Ion® cells in the charger using a standard 3kW plug socket so a large energy transfer can happen almost instantly once the device is plugged into the smart charging station.

Heathrow International Airport (London) as a customer for electric-powered driverless vehicles Pods - In terms of the energy source to power the GATEway’s PODs, Zap&Go is working with Westfield Sportscars and Hyperdrive Innovations to develop a hybrid energy storage system for the driverless POD project. Innovate UK has provided £300,000 of funding to match Hyperdrive’s British-sourced Li-ion battery system with the C-Ion® power pack developed by Zap&Go. Innovate UK had provided £300,000 of funding (In 2017) to match Hyperdrive’s British-sourced Li-ion battery system with the C-Ion® power pack developed by Zap&Go.

During the journey, the vehicle is accelerated by the Zap&Go supercapacitors and the steady state running is provided by the Nissan batteries. The Zap&Go supercapacitors are recharged in just 35 seconds, under the 40 seconds that it normally takes for a group of people to sit themselves down in a vehicle and to press the button. In essence the value proposition for the Zap&Go solution for the POD is to provide a turbo-boost or range extender on electric vehicles.

Future Technologies
It is also developing associated technology which could benefit autonomous vehicles in the medium term:

It is working with Oxford University spin-out, ZapGo, to develop carbon/graphene supercapacitors to reduce charging time and provide better power-to-weight ratios compared to battery power. With aerospace partners, it is developing microlattice structures which offer far better strength to weight ratios than current lightweight materials such as aluminium.


At CES 2017, Zap&Go showcased a Razor® E300 electric scooter prototype incorporating the Company’s technology, which reduces the charge time from over eight hours to five minutes.

During CES 2017, Zap&Go showcased an 18-volt power drill, in which the recharge time was reduced from 30 minutes to less than two minutes. As well, during CES 2017, the Company exhibited the Bissell® vacuum cleaner. Typically, cordless cleaners take two hours to four hours to recharge and provide roughly 20 minutes of cleaning time


Li-Fun Technology Agreement The Company had announced in 2017 that it plans to begin manufacturing their Gen 3 cells through a collaborative partnership agreement with Li-Fun Tech, a large-scale manufacturer of rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The Li-Fun Tech produced cells are anticipated to be used in electric scooters, cordless power tools, and automotive after-market products. The cells are to be configured into finished products by Flextronics International and other CEM’s. Li-Fun is also a manufacturer for TESLA and other Auto companies. http://www.lifuntech.com/

Multiple Awards like the Red Herring Winner 2016 & 2017, IDTechEx Awards, “Most Significant Innovation in Electric Vehicles”


JV Announcement May 2019 - ZapGo and AS Green Cube Innovation enable ultra-fast charging units in Norway The JV will provide charging rates between 350 kW to 1.2 MW A joint venture between ZapGo and AS Green Cube Innovation of Norway will commercialise the world’s first operational storage units to enable ultrafast chargers for battery electric vehicles, utilizing ZapGo’s Carbon-Ion Technology.

TSLA Batteries currently weigh 1,200 Pounds which can be significantly reduced with the Carbon-Ion batteries with much faster charging speed.

The Future: The ultimate goal is to embed Zap&Go’s supercapacitors within a phone so the phone itself can charge in 5-minutes. The phone case can charge in five minutes and would then be able to charge the phone at the normal rate.

Another possibility - “Replace fuel tanks in wings with batteries”

Introduction of 1 Device Charger is expected in early 2021 which can handle electric power tools, cordless cleaners, toys, mobile phones, transportation, and even the military applications.
