Electrovaya launches ElvaPulse 1500, a 7 MW data center BESS, with first deliveries targeted for Q2 2027

Toronto-based Electrovaya (Nasdaq/TSX: ELVA) announced on 30 July 2026 the launch of the ElvaPulse 1500, a stationary battery energy storage system delivering up to 2.88 MWh of energy and up to 7 MW of continuous power from a single 20-foot container^[1]. The product is the first in a new ElvaPulse stationary storage portfolio and is aimed squarely at data centers and other mission-critical facilities.

What the hardware does

The system uses a 1500 VDC architecture and is rated for up to 2.88 MWh of nominal energy and up to 7 MW of continuous power output. That combination enables full discharge in under 30 minutes - a power-to-energy ratio well above the 2-4 hour discharge window typical of grid-scale lithium-ion systems^[1].

The product leverages the proprietary ceramic separator design underpinning Electrovaya's Infinity Battery Technology, which has been validated across more than 30,000 battery systems operating in demanding industrial environments. That power density translates into a smaller site footprint and lower balance-of-system costs relative to lower-power-density alternatives.

The intended use cases span:

• AI and data center infrastructure backup and peak-shaving
• Resilient microgrids and critical backup power
• Industrial power management and renewable-energy firming^[1]

Certification and manufacturing timeline

Electrovaya has initiated certification activities for ElvaPulse 1500 under UL 1973 and UL 9540, with completion currently targeted for the first quarter of CY-2027. The company is already in active discussions with hyperscale and energy developers on ElvaPulse deployments, and is accepting production reservations now, with initial deliveries targeted to begin in the second quarter of CY-2027 from its Jamestown, New York manufacturing facility.

Electrovaya is expanding U.S. manufacturing through its 52-acre Jamestown, New York site, which includes a 137,000-square-foot facility planned as its first gigafactory. The ElvaPulse platform is designed to support customer eligibility for the Section 48E Investment Tax Credit, including the domestic content bonus credit and compliance with Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC) material assistance requirements under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, subject to project-specific structuring.

The Amazon relationship

Two weeks before the ElvaPulse launch, Electrovaya announced a separate commercial agreement with Amazon on 15 July 2026. The deal covers continued deployment of Infinity Battery Technology in Amazon's material handling operations, with potential expanded engagement on robotics and energy storage. Under the agreement, Amazon will receive warrants to purchase up to 13,880,345 common shares of Electrovaya, which become fully vested upon Amazon achieving cumulative future purchases of US$280 million, with a portion of the warrants vesting immediately upon execution.

Amazon was Electrovaya's largest customer in 2025. The warrant structure ties Amazon's equity upside directly to purchasing volume, giving both parties a financial incentive to scale the relationship. The Amazon agreement covers the existing Infinity line, not the new ElvaPulse product.

Why the timing matters

The International Energy Agency projects data center power demand will more than double by 2030, driven by AI workloads that draw power unevenly, with frequent, large surges that put facility uptime at risk. That demand profile - high peak power, short duration - is precisely the gap the ElvaPulse 1500 is designed to fill, and it distinguishes the product from longer-duration grid storage systems.

The key milestones to track are UL certification completion in Q1 2027 and whether the Jamestown facility can begin deliveries on the Q2 2027 schedule. Electrovaya will showcase the product at ACP RECHARGE (22-24 September, Aurora, Colorado), Yotta 2026 (28-30 September, Las Vegas), and RE+ 26 (16-19 November, Las Vegas)^[1].
