What ecovolta does

ecovolta AG is a Swiss manufacturer of standardized and customized lithium-ion battery systems for electric vehicles and machines, headquartered in Brunnen, Switzerland. Founded in 2018 as a division of ecocoach AG, the company became an independent Aktiengesellschaft in May 2023 and operates within the ecoGroup Swiss AG conglomerate under CEO Patrick Blaser. Its core technology is a modular Li-ion battery platform featuring an advanced Battery Management System, energy density up to 172 Wh/kg, passive-cooled 1C charging and 3C discharging, and configurable pack architectures supporting up to eight packs in series and fifteen in parallel; production is automated at the Brunnen facility for cost efficiency and end-to-end traceability.

The product portfolio spans the evoTractionBattery (standardized traction packs), Individual Battery Solutions (custom development from concept through prototyping), Conversion Kit & Drive Kit (evoTractionKit) for vehicle electrification, Design & Vehicle Modification services including homologation, and mobile power products (ecoPowerTrolley, ecoPowerStation PRO3, ecoPowerBank) for construction sites, events, fire brigades, agriculture, and other off-grid professional applications. ecovolta serves European manufacturers and importers of non-road vehicles and machines, as well as research institutions and municipal operators, with named deployments spanning construction equipment (Bobcat, Avesco/CAT), agriculture (Raptrac, snowXpark), automotive conversions, robotics research (ETH, EPFL), and emergency services across Switzerland, Germany, Liechtenstein, and Italy via channel partner Nonsolocablaggi.

ecovolta monetizes through direct hardware sales of standardized traction batteries and mobile power units, contract development and engineering services for custom battery solutions, and project-based electrification engagements that include prototyping, homologation, and Kleinserie production of up to ten units. Pricing is quote-based in Swiss francs ex works, with payment terms of 50% on order confirmation and 50% within 30 days of delivery; the company captures enterprise customers through a consultation-first sales motion, complemented by industry trade shows (iVT Expo, REAS, Construction Equipment Forum, Snowexpo), university sponsorships, and digital marketing channels.
