Elektros Pursues First Prototype of Patented Multi-Port EV Charging Technology

Elektros Inc. is advancing discussions with several developers about designing a first prototype of its patented multi-port EV charging technology, the company said on October 20, 2026. The report, published by TradingView, states that no prototype completion, developer engagement or commercial launch is being announced.

Elektros' Seven-Minute Charging Goal

Elektros said the objective is to move from patented intellectual property toward a working high-speed charging prototype that can be evaluated, tested and refined. The company is exploring developer capabilities and potential approaches for integrating its proprietary charging architecture into an initial demonstration system.

Management's aspirational target is to enable a battery to recharge from zero to full in approximately seven minutes under suitable conditions. Elektros said seven minutes is a development goal, not a demonstrated result or a promise applicable to every EV, and that actual charging speed will depend on battery chemistry, vehicle acceptance limits, thermal management, available power, infrastructure and other factors.

Elektros holds U.S. Patent No. 12,522,100 B1, "Multi-Port Charging Assembly for Electric Vehicles," issued January 13, 2026. The patented concept is designed to receive power from multiple charging inputs, consolidate those inputs through a single charging output and use an electronic processor to manage and balance the supplied charge.

Beyond the charging patent, Elektros is pursuing a hard-rock lithium opportunity in Sierra Leone, with the long-term objective of developing lithium-bearing material for potential supply to processors and refineries, including in the United States. The company is also evaluating potential EV charging-infrastructure opportunities, beginning in Florida, while considering future patent licensing and technology partnerships.

Elektros' Patent and Partnership Record

According to akta.pro company records, Volkswagen Group of America's IP counsel acknowledged receipt of communications regarding U.S. Patent No. 12,522,100 B1 for review in June 2026, with the acknowledgment explicitly disclaiming any admission of infringement or commercial agreement. Elektros delivered a cease-and-desist notice to an undisclosed major global automotive manufacturer on May 5, 2026, regarding potential infringement of the patent, and announced evaluation of licensing, one-year lease, or buyout alternatives.

The same records show Elektros began integration into IBM's ecosystem as a member of the IBM Partner Plus program in May 2026, leveraging IBM Envizi ESG Suite to power the Energy Core platform. Multiple third-party analytical sources report $0 revenue for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 based on SEC Form 10-K filings, and an independent auditor issued a going-concern qualification.

Earlier Elektros Patent Disclosures

Elektros announced in August 2026 that it is pursuing hard-rock lithium mining initiatives in Sierra Leone while advancing its U.S. EV charging patent and evaluating strategic opportunities including potential licensing discussions, according to Stock Titan. The company reaffirmed its long-term growth strategy focused on hard-rock lithium mining in Sierra Leone and its U.S. EV charging patent amid record equity markets and rising demand for critical minerals, Stock Titan reported.

Elektros also announced plans to launch a focused strategic communications and branding program, according to the Joplin Globe, an initiative aimed at enhancing the company's market presence and connecting more effectively with stakeholders.

Elektros' Patent Review Timeline

Elektros said the developer discussions are exploratory. The company's June 30, 2026 semiannual report disclosed material funding needs and going-concern uncertainty.
