Epyon Joins International Group for Fast Charging Standard

Europe Ready for Next Generation of Fast Chargers for Electric Vehicles

AMSTERDAM, April 15, 2010 - Epyon, a European leader in the development and marketing of smart
charging solutions for the emerging electric vehicle market, has joined the
international CHAdeMO Association. Epyon is currently the only company of its
kind in Europe that delivers fast chargers equipped with the latest CHAdeMO
communication protocol for charging of electric vehicles (EVs) from major car
brands such as Mitsubishi, Nissan and PSA.

Epyon representatives were present at the founding event in Japan of
CHAdeMO, an association for the standardization of quick-charging protocols.
CHAdeMO ('Charge de Move') was formed in March 2010 as a partnership between
Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) and the Tokyo
Electric Power Company.

CHAdeMO aims to enable the rapid deployment of fast-charger installations
worldwide, to further stimulate the usage of electric vehicles and to
standardise the charging of the batteries. Through its membership Epyon can
certify CHAdeMO compliance of its TERRA fast chargers and fast-charge the new
generation of CHAdeMO compliant EV's such as the the Nissan LEAF and the
Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

Crijn Bouman, Epyon's VP of Business Development, comments: "We're very
honoured to have such a good relationship with the CHAdeMO Association. This
relationship gives us the opportunity to support the latest release, this
month, of the fast-charging communication protocol including all enhanced
safety features."

Unique power-routing system

Bouman continues: "In addition Epyon's power-routing system makes the
smart charging solution even better. The system enables other companies to
build services on top of the infrastructure such as managing the charging
time and the billing process. Batteries are charged in the most optimal
conditions thus ensuring the battery life is protected."

Epyon has over five years of experience with fast-charging equipment for
EVs. The long charging times are one of the main drawbacks for consumers to
own an electric car at this moment. Charging EV batteries traditionally takes
a lot of time, up to hours. With Epyon's fast charging-solution, EVs can be
charged within 15 minutes enabling almost 24 hour availability and long
driving range.
