Enevate's technology has matured and is now in a phase that includes commercialization and industrialization for large-format EV cells. The company has sampled and validated cells for more than 20 global EV battery makers and automotive OEMs, and its cells can be manufactured cost-effectively in high-volume battery gigafactories.

Enevate's technology has the potential to revolutionize the EV industry by making EVs more practical and appealing to consumers. With Enevate batteries, EVs could be charged as quickly as gasoline cars, eliminating the need for long charging times. This would make EVs more convenient and attractive to a wider range of consumers, accelerating their adoption. Enevate is a key player in the emerging EV battery space, and its technology is poised to have a significant impact on the industry. The company's work is helping to make EVs more practical and appealing to consumers, which will accelerate their adoption and help to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Prologium Technology is a Taiwanese solid-state battery developer and manufacturer. Founded in 2006, Prologium is one of the leading companies in the world developing solid-state batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications.

Solid-state batteries offer a number of advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries, including higher energy density, faster charging times, and improved safety. Prologium's solid-state batteries are based on a proprietary lithium ceramic electrolyte, which is non-flammable and has a higher energy density than the liquid electrolytes used in traditional lithium-ion batteries.

Prologium has partnered with major automotive companies, including Mercedes-Benz to develop solid-state batteries for their EVs. The company is also targeting other applications, such as consumer electronics and industrial energy storage. Prologium is a leading player in the emerging solid-state battery market.

GRST (Green Renewable Sustainable Technology) is a lithium-ion battery technology company with R&D and giga-scale manufacturing operations in water-based manufacturing and recycling of batteries.

GRST's WATMAR³ technology removes the risk of emissions for VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and PFAS "forever chemicals" from electrode production. It can be quickly, cheaply and easily integrated into any conventional battery factory, and works for all battery chemistries.

GRST is a leading startup in the EV battery domain, and its technology has the potential to revolutionize the way batteries are manufactured and recycled. By making batteries cleaner, cheaper, and safer, GRST is helping to accelerate the transition to a clean energy future.

GRST is in commercial production and working with partners, including Gree, Realtek, Fortum, Aima Electric Scooters, and Tal Apparel, to build a world powered by sustainable and high-performing batteries.

The Global Graphene Group (G3) is a Dayton, Ohio-based materials science company that develops and commercializes graphene-enabled technologies for a variety of industries, including lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. G3 is a leading innovator in the field of graphene battery technology, and its products have the potential to significantly improve the performance and safety of EV batteries.

One of G3's key technologies is its silicon anode material. Silicon has a much higher energy density than graphite, the material currently used in most EV battery anodes. This means that silicon anodes can store more energy in the same volume, which could lead to longer ranges for EVs. However, silicon anodes are also more difficult to manufacture and can be less stable than graphite anodes.

In addition to its silicon anode technology, G3 is also developing other graphene-enabled battery technologies, such as graphene-enhanced cathodes and electrolyte additives. G3's technologies have the potential to improve the energy density, charging speed, and safety of EV batteries.

Nexeon is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of silicon-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Nexeon's technology enables batteries to store more energy in a smaller and lighter package, making them ideal for electric vehicles and other demanding applications.

Nexeon's silicon anode materials can replace up to 50% of the graphite that is typically used in lithium-ion batteries. This results in a significant increase in energy density, which can extend the range of electric vehicles and reduce the size and weight of battery packs.

Nexeon is working with leading battery manufacturers and automotive OEMs to bring its silicon anode technology to market. The company's technology has the potential to revolutionize the EV battery market and accelerate the transition to clean energy. Batteries with Nexeon's silicon anode materials can store more energy in a smaller and lighter package.
