Blitz Motors Signs Deal With Addionics To Develop Smart 3D Electrodes

Israeli battery tech firm Addionics, and Israeli electric moped manufacturer Blitz Motors, announced a new partnership this week to introduce a brand new model of electric mopeds powered by next-generation Addionics batteries within a year’s time. 

According to the terms of the agreement, Addionics will supply Blitz with Smart 3D Electrodes to co-develop lithium-ion batteries for Blitz’s fleet of smart electric mopeds. A prototype is expected to be completed in 2023. 

The optimized batteries will be able to travel greater distances per charge and will need less time to charge completely. In addition, the new batteries will incur lower production costs for Blitz’s next fleet of mopeds. 

Founded in 2017, Addionics focuses on rethinking and transforming batteries used in electric vehicles using Smart 3D Electrodes while maintaining a scalable and cost-effective manufacturing process. By replacing the battery’s conventional 2D electrode layered structure with an integrated 3D structure, Addionics has been able to produce batteries that yield higher energy, density, and power, improved safety, and longer lifetimes while avoiding spikes in cost. The company’s proprietary electrode fabrication process works as a drop-in solution for battery manufacturers and pre-existing assembly lines.   

Founded in 2012, Blitz Motors manufactures affordable, smart electric mopeds that are designed to be low maintenance. Blitz integrates data analytic capabilities into its smart e-mobility offerings for predictive maintenance and enhanced operational efficiency, granting customers the ability to troubleshoot any problems with their moped fleets before they arise. Blitz’s customers include Domino’s Pizza, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Gorillas, Sushi Shop, as well as delivery services, government, and local authorities such as the Israel Postal Company. 

“We’ve spent years looking for the right partner to help us improve battery performance and cost in our fleet of electric mopeds to better serve our commercial and public sector customers,” said Raphael Moszynski, CEO of Blitz Motors. “Two-wheeled vehicles experience significantly more wear and tear in a much shorter time than four-wheeled vehicles. Addionics will help us maximize our battery’s lifetime, by increasing range, reducing charging times and enhancing overall safety.” 

“Addionics’ Smart 3D Electrodes offer a significant technology advantage in the shift to electric transportation, due to its outstanding advantages in travel range, charging speed, and price of the battery without compromising on safety,” said Moshiel Biton, CEO of Addionics. “Our latest collaboration with Blitz Motors further demonstrates Addionics’ ability to scale our technology across all types of electric vehicles and in doing so, accelerate the transition towards a greener, better future for all.”
