Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 29, 2008, Ener1, Inc. ("Ener1") entered into a Line of Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") with Ener1 Group, Inc. ("Ener1 Group"), Ener1's controlling shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Ener1 is able to draw down up to $30 million through the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the first advance under the Agreement, of which not more than $10 million may be drawn down through March 31, 2009. Any funds advanced under the Agreement will bear simple interest at a rate of 8% per year. The principal and any unpaid interest will become due on the earlier of (i) the fifth day following an underwritten public equity offering of Ener1 common stock, or (ii) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the first advance under the Agreement. Ener1 will pay to Ener1 Group a commitment fee in the form of a two-year warrant to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $8.25 per share. Each time that Ener1 requests an advance under the Agreement, it will issue to Ener1 Group an advance fee in the form of a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Ener1 common stock equal to the dollar amount of the advance divided by $20.00. The warrants will expire two years from the date of each advance, and have an exercise price equal to $8.25 per share.
