“Carbon Ion Energy Storage Ltd has acquired all the assets of ZapGo Ltd, inclusive of over 30 patents and the benefit of $25 million research and development.”

30+ Patents – Approved Patents list - https://patents.justia.com/assignee/zapgo-ltd

$25+ Million Funding

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:
https://www.autonews.com/shift/4-contenders-next-gen-batteries

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.”

https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=104427 "The WIZer Batteries project, led by Williams Advanced Engineering, will deliver a revolutionary approach to battery management, new hybrid supercapacitor and lithium ion battery systems and a communications platform that will deliver data and capability to customers, vehicle manufacturers and infrastructure providers. The performance benefits of this technology will be tested on a hybrid battery containing both lithium ion cells and carbon ion supercapacitors, which will be developed by Williams Advanced Engineering with Zap&Go, enabled by enhanced battery management capability and new models.

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.

Finally, the company which is making the new website - https://zapgo.com/ is called https://baytreelimited.co.uk/our-work/ and they VMWare ($9 Billion company) kind of large customers.

‘Why COUV is Electrifying’: Part II
This Carbon Ion Battery Changes Everything



In Part I, The Foundation, we reviewed the low OS and float, the only $48,000 in converts, the 199 mil shares held by insiders and financiers, the current CEO Sutton getting COUV active in Delaware - then getting COUV Pink Current over summer, also he retired 106 million shares from OS which then was proven in next Q report .(..and is looking to reduce OS by another 89 mil), and then getting to know new incoming CEO Andrew Sispoidis a bit and seeing everything he has done and involved in....: all this and during these record volume weeks and pps run, pleased to report ZERO shares added to OS, which as we all know is rare:

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=160342469


Now in Part II, as much as i want to do many eye-opening comparisons to other future-tech battery public company's and their market caps and compare their actual batteries to Carbon Ion’s, or to other EV stocks or grid energy stocks or EV charging stocks.....etc.....i will save that for next week. Cause we need to get right into why COUV/Carbon Ion are starting to get The Stock Markets attention: their carbon batteries, developed for 10 years at Oxford University and millions spent, truly do change everything; capital ‘D’ Disruption in the future-tech battery Industry....which is as everyone knows running wild w Tesla and our modern electric world, and now of course Apple getting into the EV biz: guys, THIS is the space you want to invest money in for years and decades to come.....and little old COUV may soon have the best battery capabilities and EV charging and grid solutions of them all(!) And thats not hyperbole, its based on facts and years of studying, please read on.....


First thing is first though, and thats always safety. Watch this vid if you haven't yet, comparing Zap and Go - the assets of which and 30 Patents(!!) COUV is getting upon completed RM - which clearly proves why Carbon Ion, the future and new battery tech, is on a superior level to Lithium Ion, the past and older battery tech from 30 years ago or more. To me, just based on this proven lab safety factor alone, COUV/Carbon Ion is a buy and hold stock, cause they have Patents and their batteries are 100% safer then Lithium Ion which can overheat and even smoke and sometimes, rarely though but can happen: catch fire......cause i don't want to be on a plane if that happens to someones phone in their luggage, or in a new EV car and it happens...do you? Everyone in the end, will of course want a battery that has zero % chance of catching fire......heres some articles on the Lithium Ion fire problem...again rare but can happen:


https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/04/lithium-ion-batteries-amazon-are-exploding/587005/

https://mozees.no/phd-blog-why-do-lithium-ion-batteries-catch-fire-or-explode/

https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/lithium-ion-batteries-flames-fire-prevention-technology


Now cue the vid:






NOW onto Carbon Ion’s battery performance itself. I could go on for a long time as there are many videos and articles and Zap and Go brochures etc out there....as again this Zap and Go story has been closely followed by the battery/EV/grid/commercial goods Industry and future tech speculators for years cause their performance was showing such superior charging times, but i will just highlight some of them. On your own time i suggest Googling around and finding more info for yourself.

Here is a vid from 4 years ago. Must see...no words just watch. And what i like about any Zap and Go vids from two, three or four years ago, or more....well time has passed and before Zap and Go dissolved in early 2020, they were that much further along. So for the impatient benefit of COUV/Carbon Ion and us shareholders: we dont have to wait like 3 years like many other future battery public companies current timeline is to commercialization.. ....Carbon Ion is talking commercialization of some kind in 2021-!:





Now here is another eye-opening vid highlighting driving a Tesla, and gives a possible scenario of how Zap and Go/COUV Carbon Ion process would work when ‘filing up’ at a gas station of the future. Whats fascinating is that not only would it only take 5 minutes to charge your car, about the same time to fill your gas tank, but you can even sell energy back to the grid to and get money back ...you choose the highest bidding station:






Couple this vid with the overall cool way their Carbon Ion immense battery packs would get shipped to existing gas stations...and mind blown at the possibilities.....does anyone else feel like me that COUV/Carbon Ion has seemingly limitless applications and growth possible, that its just a matter of them focusing on one at a time at this point, with each one being a Disrupter?:





And finally, well this next vid kind of has it all, too many to list disruptive and cool things this battery would accomplish.....that again would change everything by using Carbon Ion batteries. This to me is also a great example of what future COUV/Carbon Ion commercials or advertising may look like...and i love it! There it is....: THIS is what we are investing in!:






In closing this Part II out, always remember that Zap and Go and now COUv/Carbon Ion is still very much being watched by many. They have read about or seen the rather amazing potential. Here is one chemist and his top 4 picks ...yeah its just one guys’ professional opinion, but it just again shows how often, when there is THAT discussion about what batteries will be used in the future world, Zap and Go/Carbon Ion is often right up there as a contender...great to see for us here at COUV:

Ithink 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. However, its energy density is low. It does not use expensive cobalt and lithium.

https://www.autonews.com/shift/4-contenders-next-gen-batteries




And finally....world behemoth Samsung released news this year that they are using carbon too as their possible next generation of batteries......though its prototype like so many others......:


Samsung's new solid-state battery prototype solves the dendrite problem by using silver-carbon (Ag-C) to form the anode. .... For now, the battery is just a working prototype and Samsung isn't discussing when we can expect to see it become a commercial product. ”

https://www.pcmag.com/news/samsung-develops-900wh-solid-state-battery



But again guys: when is COUV/Carbon supposed to hit commercial market? 2021! And they have 30+ Patents and have been developing carbon batteries longer then most everyone, if not everyone, meaning they may be first out of the gate, and protected by Patents, yes!.......unreal. Oh and here is what our new incoming CEO has to say about it all(!):::


“Mr. Andrew Sispoidis , CEO of Carbon Ion said., "I'm proud to join the world class team at Carbon-Ion. The company's scientific and technical foundation is the strongest I've ever seen. The technology is many years ahead of the industry, is ready for commercialization, and it significantly advances the current state of energy storage by many years.”



So here we go, another crazy week where many more probably will find out about this pure asset merge of old Zap and Go into COUV via Carbon Ion. Because the info and vids above are just too obvious, right? And compelling to at the very least, consider buying shares. ...

....ok thanks for your time, and lets simply: geauxxxxxx!




(Stay tuned for next week’s Part III in the IV part series, which will be called: ‘Market Cap Comparisons: How does COUV/Carbon Ion Rank to its Peers?’
