Editor's Notes

  • #3 And while batteries unlock a clean energy future, they are not as innocent as you think. Massive lithium operations, like the one pictured here are putting resources under stress. More critical is access to Cobalt. More than half the world’s cobalt comes from the DRC. M&A activity in these resources is significant. The business world is getting ready for batteries to be everywhere. It’s not just the raw materials -batteries are very energy intensive to make. It takes 454 times the energy required to make a battery that it can store. That means that you’ll have to use a battery more than 450 times just to break even. And while you may have known all this, what you may not know is how wasteful we are with these precious items. We throw away as many good cells as we do bad ones. The good cells still have half of their capacity remaining. I’ll tell you why in a moment, but first another short word about our motivation.
  • #4 Add EV driving distance analogy
  • #5 Add EV driving distance analogy
  • #6 We have tested our approach and you can see the difference. With our technology it takes 60% more cycles to get to the same decline in original capacity. This means that a utility-scale battery that would usually last 5 years, will now last 8 years. This means that your electric vehicle’s driving range will stay much higher for much longer.
  • #10 I think we can all agree that renewable energy and electric vehicles are here to stay and absolutely vital to tackle climate change and air pollution. Batteries are a key enabling technology for both renewable energy and electric vehicles. However, we must not forget about the environmental impact of mass producing batteries to meet ever increasing demands, or else we are in danger of substituting one environmental crisis for another. By making the most out of every single battery cell we can avoid 60% of the material use, 60% of toxic battery waste and help save 2.3M tons of CO2 equivalents by 2022. Given that this will also save money, I see now reason why we shouldn’t do that.
  • #11 Brill Power sits at the intersection of hardware and software, unlike any other battery company to create the smartest batteries in the market. Between us we have experience in business development, mechanical design, and many years of battery research. We have worked in small and large companies and our head of technology, Damien, is the co-founder of a successful solar startup. We are all extremely motivated to bring Brill Power to the next level with the help of our next round of funding.
