Ashlawn Energy, LLC

Drawing on her knowledge of hydrogen fuel cells (a cousin of Vanadium batteries) from her work in the defense industry and harnessing a desire to create something to benefit the world, Norma developed the VanChargTM battery. Since then, Ashlawn Energy, LLC has received Department of Energy funding, filed five patents on our technology, and developed key business partnerships across New York City and the state of New York. We joined Binghamton University`s Koffman Clean Energy Incubator in 2018 and established a research and test lab there a year later. In 2020, we became part of the Prototype-to-Production cohort at Rev: Ithaca Startup Works, an incubator created by Cornell University, Ithaca College, and Tompkins-Cortland Community College.
