As the manufacturer of the world's safest battery products, Envision AESC 
relies on a complete R&D system, years of solid experiences and its core 
technologies to significantly improve the safety, performance, cost and 
longevity of the batteries. The new-generation Gen5-811 AIoT battery products 
will have a high energy density of approximate 300 Wh/kg, while passing a 
number of safety tests. The product will be mass-produced at Envision AESC's 
Wuxi Plant in 2020, with a total annual production capacity of 20GWh. It is 
expected to provide high safety, high energy density, high durability and 
cost-effective batteries to more than 400,000 new energy vehicles worldwide 
each year in future.

In addition, Envision AESC relies on a powerful module design system to 
flexibly adapt to various battery pack sizes and different installations to 
meet various customers' needs. The powerful module design capabilities helped 
to produce the new battery pack in the 2018 Nissan LEAF with capacity increased 
by 50%.

Chief Executive Officer of Envision AESC Group Shoichi Matsumoto remarked at 
the press conference: "Our batteries boast a superb safety and quality record. 
To date, our lithium-ion batteries manufactured in Japan, the US, and Europe 
have been installed in over 430,000 electric vehicles with a zero critical 
malfunction such as catching fire. How did we achieve this? First, it is the 
ultimate pursuit of battery R&D design: We have all the data on the battery 
life cycle through years of cooperation with Nissan, and fully tested the 
performance, safety, durability and reliability of products. Second, we monitor 
the target data in real time and strictly control more than 770 quality control 
programs in the production process to make the entire production chain 
traceable. The last point is that we will always be unyielding. In the future, 
we will continue to provide high-quality batteries with excellent safety 
performance and continue to march forward through the development of 
next-generation batteries."

In April 2019, Envision Group announced its battery industry fund, Envision 
AESC, has completed the acquisition of AESC, previously owned by Nissan Motor 
Co., Ltd. As the world's leading technology company, Envision Group currently 
has the world's leading AIoT operating system EnOS™, and long-term accumulated 
experience in AI and IoT. In the future, Envision Group will fully empower 
Envision AESC to further optimize the management of battery life cycle, and 
realize intelligent battery control in terms of R&D, production, installation, 
secondary utilization and recycling, and comprehensively manage battery status 
and fault alarms. Envision AESC will improve battery safety, performance and 
service life, create the full life cycle value of batteries, and ensure that 
electric vehicle can be an integral part of the future clean and intelligent 
energy systems.

Zhang Lei, CEO of Envision Group and Executive Chairman of Envision AESC, said 
in the press conference: "The EV sector is facing three major challenges: 
safety, cost and grid integration. Digitalization is the key to all of these. 
Battery safety is 'the Gray Rhino' of the EV business. Envision will maintain 
the record of 'Zero Critical Incident'. We are also committed to lowering the 
battery cost to $50/Kwh in 2025. In future, batteries will be integrated 
seamlessly into the renewable energy system and provide dynamic balancing 
ability to grid through Envision's AIoT operating system."
