Helsinki, Finland - March 6th, 2026 - Elektros Oyj (ELOK.HEL) today announced a significant milestone in its commitment to advancing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure: the granting of a US patent for its groundbreaking multi-port EV charging system. This patent, awarded by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, covers the core architecture of Elektros' innovative solution, which allows for the integration of multiple charging points within a single, streamlined charging station.

The announcement comes at a crucial time. The global transition to electric mobility is accelerating, driven by increasingly stringent emissions regulations and growing consumer demand. However, the rapid increase in EV adoption is placing a considerable strain on existing charging infrastructure. Current infrastructure struggles to keep pace, leading to long wait times at public charging stations and anxieties among EV owners - often referred to as 'range anxiety' compounded by 'charge anxiety'. Elektros' multi-port system directly addresses these challenges.

Traditional EV charging stations typically offer a single charging point per unit. This necessitates a significant number of individual stations to serve a growing fleet of EVs, leading to land-use issues, higher installation costs, and complex grid management. Elektros' patented system overcomes these limitations by consolidating multiple charging points into a single, compact unit. This innovative approach substantially reduces the physical footprint required for EV charging infrastructure, making it ideal for a wider range of locations, including densely populated urban areas, parking garages, and residential complexes.

"We are thrilled to receive this patent," stated Mikael Vuorio, CEO of Elektros Oyj. "It validates the significant investment we've made in research and development and demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative solutions for the EV charging market. This isn't just about creating more charging points; it's about doing so efficiently and sustainably. Our multi-port system offers a compelling value proposition for both public and private sector customers."

The versatility of the system is a key differentiator. Elektros envisions deployment in a variety of settings. For residential applications, a single Elektros multi-port station can serve multiple EVs within a household or apartment building, reducing the need for individual wall-mounted chargers and simplifying electrical load management. In public spaces, the system allows for a higher density of charging points within a limited area, maximizing throughput and revenue potential for charging station operators. Moreover, Elektros' architecture supports varying charging speeds - allowing for a mix of Level 2 and DC fast charging ports within the same unit - catering to diverse EV models and user needs.

The patent also encompasses Elektros' intelligent power management system, which dynamically allocates available power across the multiple charging ports. This ensures optimal charging efficiency and prevents overloading the electrical grid. This is a critical feature as municipalities and utilities grapple with the increased power demands associated with widespread EV adoption. Early testing indicates the system can reduce peak load demand by up to 30% compared to traditional charging deployments, lowering energy costs and contributing to a more stable grid.

Analysts predict the EV charging market will experience explosive growth in the coming years. A recent report by BloombergNEF estimates that global investment in EV charging infrastructure will exceed $80 billion by 2030. Elektros is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth, and the US patent significantly strengthens its competitive advantage. The company is already engaging with potential partners in North America to explore deployment opportunities and plans to begin pilot projects in select cities later this year.

Beyond the US, Elektros is actively pursuing patent protection for its multi-port system in other key markets, including Europe and Asia. The company is also investing in the development of next-generation charging technologies, including wireless charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities, further solidifying its position as a leader in the EV charging space. The granting of this patent is not simply a legal victory for Elektros, but a crucial step towards enabling a truly sustainable and electrified transportation future.
