Part 8/10:
America’s strategic goal is to foster domestic battery research and manufacturing capabilities to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. Technologies like the one proposed by 24M could be pivotal in this effort, offering a way to boost energy density, lower costs, and maintain competitiveness.
Future Prospects and Applications
While the immediate focus is on EVs, the versatility of the electrode-to-pack approach could extend to other sectors. For instance, electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL), grid-scale storage, and other applications requiring flexible, high-capacity batteries could benefit from this innovation.
