Demand for Li-ion battery is skyrocketing
By 2030, 307GWh are needed for low-speed EV, 2-wheeler, and ESS*
Passengers and commercial EVs will retain more than 85% of the battery market
*The Lithium-Ion (EV) battery market and supply chain, Roland Berger GmbH, April 2022
PROBLEM

3. betteries proprietary, strictly confidential 3
A tsunami of used EV batteries is coming
In 2030 more than 20 million used battery packs will be released from the automotive industry

Our design principles Module upcycling
A modular battery design with a standardized
battery storage module & interface assures
maximum flexibility & scalability and unlocks
the full battery value.
Modularization -> flexibility in use
Standardization -> economy of scale
System level focus -> right trade of attributes
