Item 8.01 Other Events.

Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") issued a press release on September 26, 2007 announcing that the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") had awarded Ener1's EnerDel, Inc. ("EnerDel") subsidiary a $2.5 million contract over two years for plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) research. The award is for the development of cells for 10- and 40-mile range PHEVs using nano-phase lithium titanate coupled with a high voltage Nickel-Manganese cathode material. The total DOE/industry cost share will be $2.5 million, and it is expected that EnerDel and the DOE will each fund $1.25 million of the costs.

DOE funding is subject to negotiation of final contract terms and Congressional appropriations. The project is expected to begin in 2007 and continue through 2009; funding will come from DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (fiscal years '07-'09). The United States Advanced Battery Consortium ("USABC") will negotiate final contract terms

The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
