The story
Epyon started in 2006 based on advances of nanotechnology in batteries. The first product of Epyon was a 1-minute telephone charger called the FlashPack. The FlashPack had an internal battery or super capacitor that could be charged in under a minute. Epyon abandoned the telephone market to serve the electric vehicle market before the FlashPack reached the stores.
Epyon's chargers are remotely managed by its power routing network, which computes the local power grid, billing, and battery life management.
In October 2010, Epyon showed an AC/DC combined charging post together with Nissan at the Paris Motor Show.
In November 2010 Lite-On announced it invested into Epyon. Epyon raised 7 Million Euros in this investment round.
On June 30, 2011, ABB acquired Epyon.
On May 20, 2014, Epyon technology was recognized as the Cleantech Startup of the Decade, with the award going to buyer ABB.
