"Nomadic Power has developed a simple and efficient solution to extend the range of battery-powered electric vehicles", says Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner, the CEO of Nomadic Power. "We see a strong future in electricity-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular. Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements."

For us, this is an additional great motivator and a milestone on our way to bringing a high-quality product to our environmentally-minded customers", says Yuliya Rogachevska, Nomadic Power's director of PR and investor relations.
