Improved Battery Capacity and Extended Range Granted to Our Organization's Battery Technology
In 2017, Sono Group, a Dutch company on a mission to accelerate the revolution of mobility, introduced the Sion – an innovative and family-friendly solar electric car. The Sion's key feature is its enhanced 54 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, which offers improved performance, safety, and efficiency.
The 54 kWh LFP battery provides a practical balance of energy storage, allowing the Sion to have a decent driving range while maintaining manageable weight and size for efficiency. One of the standout advantages of LFP batteries is their enhanced thermal stability and safety compared to other lithium-ion chemistries, reducing risks of overheating and fire. Advanced thermal management systems in the Sion's battery mitigate heat buildup, leading to improved durability and safety during rapid charging and high-power discharge.
LFP batteries also typically support longer cycle life and better degradation profiles, meaning the battery maintains capacity over more charge-discharge cycles, contributing to a longer-lasting battery pack. Compared to other lithium-ion batteries using cobalt or nickel, LFP batteries use more abundant and less expensive materials (iron and phosphate), making them more affordable and sustainable without sacrificing performance.
The battery's capacity and chemistry align well with solar charging capabilities. Although the solar panels on the Sion add energy slowly due to their size (~200W), the battery can efficiently store the harvested solar energy, extending the vehicle's range especially in sunny conditions. This is beneficial for daily commuting and sustainability.
Sono Group's technology aims to lessen the impact of CO2 emissions in vehicles. The goal is to extend range, reduce fuel costs, and lessen the impact of CO2 emissions, promoting climate-friendly mobility. The company will offset all unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions generated in production, including those from the new battery.
Sono Group's disruptive solar technology is engineered to be integrated into various vehicle architectures, including third-party OEM cars, buses, refrigerated vehicles, and recreational vehicles, paving the way for climate-friendly mobility. To date, the company has received over 13,000 down-payments for the Sion.
Sono Group N.V. (OTCQB: SEVCF) is trading on the OTCQB, and investors can find information on the company's website for investor relations at ir@our website.

The Sion's solar panels provide a weekly average of 112 km of additional range (245 km at peak), making it an optimal choice for a sustainable solar electric vehicle system.
The Sion's solar electric vehicle system, powered by a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, offers a unique blend of technology and sustainability in its lifestyle, providing a longer-lasting and affordable battery pack that supports solar charging capabilities, while promoting climate-friendly mobility. Sono Group's strategy extends beyond the Sion, as their disruptive solar technology aims to integrate into various vehicle architectures, encouraging electric-vehicle adoption in a broad spectrum of vehicles.
