The company will continue developing and begin piloting its advanced battery control technology.

"The Greater Phoenix area was a natural choice for our U.S. home, and we're thrilled to become a part of the innovative business community," said Sue Ozdemir, CEO of Exro Technologies. "The region is ripe with potential manufacturing partners and suppliers, and its competitive talent pipeline will support our continued growth. Mayor Giles and the city of Mesa have welcomed our vision and we look forward to building on the city's enthusiasm for electric vehicles. We're excited to invite customers and shareholders to visit us and see our technology at work!"

Exro said it joins the Greater Phoenix region's booming e-mobility ecosystem to further develop the next generation of power electronics for electric motors and batteries, which can help to accelerate e-mobility and battery energy storage adoption.

"Exro is doing ground-breaking work and is the type of technology company that propels our innovation-centered economy while bolstering the region's electric vehicle ecosystem," said Chris Camacho, president & CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. "We're excited to see another Canadian technology firm place investment in Mesa and look forward to being a partner in their continued growth and success."
