What easyLi does
easyLi is a French designer and manufacturer of custom lithium-ion battery systems, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou near Futuroscope. The company builds application-specific battery packs (ranging from 0.5 kWh to 50 kWh) incorporating an in-house Battery Management System (BMS), battery characterization, safety testing, and certification services for manufacturers and operators of light electric vehicles, intralogistics/robotics fleets, residential storage, and smart-city equipment. Its product architecture is anchored by two proprietary processes — DesignForRepair (an eco-design methodology enabling a documented 98.4% repair rate on post-warranty e-scooter batteries) and 360DesignControl (a lifecycle safety framework covering component spacing, thermal management, and redundant electronics). A Digital Battery Passport feature supports compliance with emerging EU battery regulations.
The company's revenue model is built on three integrated B2B service modules — easyLiDev (custom prototyping and feasibility studies), easyLiProd (serial production at a 150 MWh annual French assembly facility), and easyLiRepair (Maintenance in Operational Condition, repair, and reconditioning) — complemented by Storelio, a branded all-in-one residential solar-storage product. Pricing is quote-based, determined through a preliminary specification phase, and contracts tend to be multi-year. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales backed by participation in European industry events (E-TECH Europe, Eurobike, EICMA, Key Energy, Electric Road, ProDays) and direct sales coverage in France and Italy via a Milan subsidiary. Select named customers include Pink Mobility and YEGO in shared electric scooters; the company was acquired by Manitou Group at the end of 2022 and now operates as a subsidiary supporting the parent's electrification of off-road and lifting equipment in addition to its independent light-mobility and storage business.
