This is ZAP&GO:
The C-Ion cell will provide specific power characteristics between one and two orders of magnitude higher than a Li-ion cell. It is designed to be classified as non-flammable and non-hazardous for transport, allowing the product to be shipped easily and to comply with both current and future regulations.

Due to the method of energy storage, the cell has fewer moving parts electrochemically and so can withstand 100,000 charge/discharge cycles.

The C-Ion cell is being designed for manufacture using many of the technologies well known in Li-ion cell production. This will enable Zap&Go to quickly scale-up production and to use manufacturing capacity already in existence. This will allow new products to be made and extra functions to be added to existing products, for example:

Improved energy storage allows the cell to be used as the principal method of energy storage in a far wider range of technologies than conventional supercapacitors.
High specific power allows very fast charging (in seconds) through Zap&Go’s “Instant-charge” technology.
High specific power enables the extension of Li-ion battery lifetimes and reduction in battery size through peak shaving in hybrid applications.
Improved safety protects customers, allows easy shipping and opens up applications in hazardous areas.
Long cycle life allows energy storage to be installed for the entire lifetime of the device, reducing design complexity by reducing or eliminating service intervals and saving money.

Nice observation Grabster, pretty much spot on to the nearest minute :)

Today we smash 140p, next stop 220p.

So good you said it twice, amt

In particular, Zap&Go are at the forefront of developing ultra fast charge carbon-ion cells that can replace slow charging lithium ion batteries in a wide variety of applications from cordless and mobile devices, to infrastructure and transport. We anticipate that the addition of our graphene to their already very innovative products will bring significant enhancements. The market potential for their technology is ENORMOUS.

Certainly is


In 2022, the lithium ion battery market is expected reach a value of approximately 67.7 BILLION U.S. dollars.

I clued someone in on Twitter last night. He claimed to know the science of graphene, but hadn't heard of VRS. He has now. Be interesting to see whether he buys and turns up here. He thought the major app for graphene was desalination (and of course that could be massive too)...

pc - not sure how we can gather IP as we are providing the materials not the scientists doing the work (as far as I'm aware). However in GEIC we do have some scientific input.

[festario] 02/7/2018 08:38

Off topic.... SuperG, I know you like bounce trades.Well, today's is PTEC ... one of the most cash rich companies on the market. 22% down after 30 mins, it will rise at least 10% from there.

Shockingly exciting RNS heralding a new era that will change the world.

Even more exciting is we are just at the very beginning as the applications are virtually endless.

Wonderful company to be invested in!

[pshevlin] 02/7/2018 08:36

Investors and IIs still don't seem to have a clue about this despite all the RNSs. Getting someone on the mainstream media is the next step.

[grabster] 02/7/2018 08:36

Festario - common pattern for any stock that surges from the bell is to stall at about 8:15-20am when profit-takers cash in, fall to a low around 8:30-35am and climb again from 8:40-45am. Will that happen here?

[pcjoe] 02/7/2018 08:35

Would be even nicer if we were gathering some kind of IP stake in the app side of some of these collaborations - the wmg batteries for instance?

[festario] 02/7/2018 08:33

It's fizzling out for now, it was a tad too early for bananas.

[club sandwich] 02/7/2018 08:25

Shavian - that's a very interesting read, thank you!

From the horse’s mouth this time: what WMG is all about

[rocket fuel] 02/7/2018 08:18

hey Yodha, how’s the short at 60 doing?

[rogerbridge] 02/7/2018 08:14

Unfortunately not SG, I was away at the time. It shows you why the investor events are vital to attend.

[shavian] 02/7/2018 08:13

Quick overview of WMG from Wiki. Yes, I know it’s wiki, but it’s only a thumbnail sketch to start with...

[superg1] 02/7/2018 08:11

Re your comment.

Did you go to the Cambridge investor day some time back. A few were mentioned there, 2 or which have already appeared in collaborations.

Poor old shorters must be really frying today.

[ch1rp] 02/7/2018 08:08

Believe me there's a will for it. 3 to 5 year's, EVs with super powered batteries will change cars forever:)))

[club sandwich] 02/7/2018 08:08

Just tried to do a dummy sell of 2k shares and couldn't get a quote. In auction?

[luckyorange] 02/7/2018 08:08

limititatiins ? What part of the battery are they in roger? ;)
