The Lion Electric Company (LEV) has signed a four-year supply agreement with a top-tier supplier.

The company will purchase lithium-ion battery cells for the manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries.

The non-exclusive purchases will occur at escalating volumes over 2023 and 2024 at prices adjustable to account for increases in the cost of raw materials and changes in specifications.

Discussions regarding volumes and unit prices for 2025 and 2026 are ongoing.

The Lion Electric Company designs and manufactures zero-emission vehicles. It specializes in all-electric class 5 to class 8 commercial urban trucks, as well as all-electric buses and minibuses.
