Alpine 4 Holdings (ALPP) Enters the Lithium / Graphene Battery Manufacturing Industry with its Latest Acquisition of ElecJet / Real Graphene and Plans to Bring its Battery Production to the United States
PHOENIX, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALPP), a leading operator and owner of small
market businesses, announced today that it has acquired ElecJet / Real Graphene
(ElecJet), an industry pioneer in Lithium / Graphene battery manufacturing and
design. The two companies, Real Graphene and ElecJet, merged earlier this
year, resulting in the combination of the graphene intellectual property of
Real Graphene and the power system/charging hardware of ElecJet. The result of
this merger was a symbiotic marriage of ground-breaking state-of-the-art
battery and power system technology within a single company. ElecJet and
Alpine 4 are also exploring plans with the State of Indiana to convert its
South Bend, Indiana facility into a US battery production facility and bring
graphene battery production to the United States.
Kent Wilson, CEO of Alpine 4, had this to say: "Earlier this year, Sam Gong,
CEO of ElecJet, and I began working on a battery power solution that could meet
the enormous power needs of our future US-2 drone. It was obvious that a pure
lithium battery was not the answer for the US-2 design protocol, and different
technologies would have to be implemented. Graphene became the obvious answer
for us. Graphene is an amazing conductor of electricity and substantially
reduces heat within lithium batteries during the charging cycle. That
reduction in heat and resistance in graphene enhanced batteries allows for
increased charging speeds and extended battery life.
The combined efforts of Alpine 4 and ElecJet culminated in two achievements.
The first was recognizing that the business opportunities for ElecJet would be
greatly enhanced as an Alpine 4 subsidiary. The second was that working
together as one company, we could offer the electric vehicle (EV) market a new
and compelling battery solution. Most EV manufacturers use pure lithium
battery cells such as the 18650, 21700, and 4680. EV companies such as Rivian,
Tesla, Lucid and others, utilize varying battery cells depending upon the power
to energy density needs of the vehicle they are producing. ElecJet's graphene
lithium battery offering will enhance all three primary battery cells currently
used by EV manufacturers (18650, 21700, and 4680) in both power density and
energy density. One key performance aspect of our graphene batteries is that
they will be able to charge 5-8 times faster than the aforementioned lithium
batteries can. Imagine charging your car from 0-80% at a DC rapid charging
system in under 10 minutes compared to 30-45 minutes with just lithium
batteries and subsequently not damage the battery cells within your vehicle
like repeated DC charging can do. This will bring the feasibility of vehicles
that use our graphene batteries in line with the time it takes to fill a
conventional vehicle with gas. We feel this is the game-changer for the EV
market as well as other various commercial applications."
Samuel Gong CEO of ElecJet had this to say: "People have been anxiously
anticipating graphene for a decade, but it's mainly been contained in a lab.
This has led to tons of hype and plenty of faux products and companies. But
we're here to show that graphene batteries are not the future, but the here and
now. And while we are primarily a battery cell producer, we put our money where
our mouth is by producing graphene battery power banks. We've created various
sizes of direct-to-consumer graphene power banks that fully charge in just 17
minutes that are available for purchase on Amazon, our Shopify site and even
our newly launched campaign on Indiegogo.
To put into perspective how impressive our resulting consumer products are, our
latest power bank on Indiegogo is over three times the battery capacity of an
iPhone 13 and will fully charge in just 27 minutes! We could charge even faster
but USB C is capped at 100W. We've proven on a commercial scale that our
graphene battery technology not only allows you to charge over 5 times faster
than anything currently out there, but that it is a safe, mass producible,
compact, cost-efficient, sustainable and consumer friendly product.
ElecJet/Real Graphene has the capability to bring graphene products from
production phase to creating end-user consumer products. This wholistic,
scalable capability is what has created our success. Kent has an amazing vision
that our team is excited to be a part of, and his character upholds true core
American values. Now that ElecJet/Real Graphene has joined the Alpine 4 family
of companies, we can realize the next biggest evolution in the battery space in
decades and put the US back into the driver's seat of this core technology."
ElecJet's newest power bank charger, the Apollo Ultra, was recently highlighted
by Forbes Magazine and digitaltrends.com.
