      This statement, which is being filed by Newton D. Becker ("Mr. Becker"),
constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13G originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on January 1, 1995 (the "Schedule 13G").  The
Schedule 13G relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common
Stock"), of Electric Fuel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").



Item 1(b).              Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:

                        120 Wood Avenue South
                        Suite 300
                        Iselin, NJ 08830

Items 4.                Ownership.

                        During the months of January and February 2000, Mr.
                        Becker disposed all of the 1,746,904 shares (the
                        "Shares") of the Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially
                        owned by him. Prior to such disposition, the Shares were
                        held in the name of the Becker Family Trust of which Mr.
                        Becker is the sole trustee and sole beneficiary during
                        his lifetime. Such disposition was the result of the
                        sale by the Becker Family Trust of 800,000 of the Shares
                        in a series of transactions on the open market, as well
                        as gifts of a total of 946,904 of the Shares made by the
                        Becker Family Trust to the Newton & Rochelle Becker
                        Family Foundation (the "Foundation"), a foundation
                        controlled by Mr. Becker. Subsequent to such gifts, the
                        Foundation sold all of such Shares in a series of
                        transactions on the open market. As of February 22,
                        2000, Mr. Becker ceased to be the beneficial owner of
                        more than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock.

                        Currently, Mr. Becker does not own beneficially any
                        shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

                        The Shares are exclusive of 35,000 shares of the
                        Issuer's Common Stock held by the Newton Becker
                        Irrevocable Trust No. 1 (the "Irrevocable Trust"), as to
                        which shares Mr. Becker disclaims beneficial ownership.
                        The Irrevocable Trust's beneficiaries are Mr. Becker's
                        children and stepchildren, and its co-trustees are David
                        E. Becker and Bryan Gordon, Mr. Becker's son and
                        stepson, respectively.
