Evio teams up with Molicel for battery applications in aerospace

Montreal-based electrical mobility company Evio announced today it has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Molicel to jointly advance the development of next-generation, high energy density lithium-ion cells purpose-built for aerospace applications. The collaboration will focus on advancing battery technologies tailored to enable hybrid-electric flight, supporting the performance, safety, and certification requirements of the Evio 810 aircraft program and aligning with key upcoming development milestones.

“We’re pleased to announce this agreement with Molicel, whose high-power lithium-ion cell expertise—applied in high-performance aerospace and aviation applications—aligns well with Evio’s exacting safety and performance standards,” said Michael Derman, CEO of Evio. “This MOA gives us a structured path to generate the data we need to mature an aircraft-ready energy storage solution for the Evio 810.”

Evio’s strong-hybrid architecture is designed to support all-electric operation on short missions and hybrid-electric power on longer routes. Through this MOA, Evio and Molicel will deepen technical collaboration to validate cell performance for the Evio 810 and mature the energy storage integration requirements needed to deliver the power, durability and safety required for regional aviation missions.
