• Collaboration with Dor-Alon and Afcon Electric Transportation
  

In May and June 2024, ZOOZ successfully deployed two of its Flywheel-based power boosting and management solution, delivering a significant upgrade to two ‘'ON’ charging sites without requiring a grid upgrade. These sites are located at Dor-Alon stations on Route 6, the Cross-Israel Highway, one of the busiest transportation corridors in Israel. The ‘ON’ charging network is a strategic collaboration between Dor-Alon, a leading gas-station network operator, and Afcon Electric Transportation, a prominent CPO in Israel. The installation of the ZOOZ solution has significantly improved the number of EV charged in this station daily. These two systems were not yet recognized as revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

• First Entry into the UK market
  

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, ZOOZ achieved a key milestone by entering the UK market through a collaboration with Osprey Charging, one of the top three CPOs in the UK with over 150 high-powered charging hubs across the UK. ZOOZ successfully installed its ZOOZTER^?-100 system at an Osprey-owned site, facilitating an upgrade to ultra-fast charging capabilities. Additionally, this site serves as a demonstration platform for showcasing ZOOZ’s technology to potential customers and partners across the UK. This system has not been yet recognized as revenues.

• Memorandum of understanding with Arko Corp.
  

In June 2024, Arko Corp., together with ZOOZ, decided to terminate the joint pilot of ZOOZ’s solution at the Arko site and as a result terminated the memorandum of understanding with ZOOZ in accordance with its terms.
