Founder’s Electric Car Passion
- Alex Kosyakov fell in love with electric cars after rides in his friend's dad's Tesla.
- His passion led him from university research to founding Natrion focusing on safer solid-state batteries.
Fit Materials Into Existing Lines
- Natrion designed battery materials to fit existing manufacturing processes rather than forcing new production methods.
- This integration approach shortens time to market compared to competitors with novel materials requiring new assembly.
Lithium Metal Boosts Range
- Natrion's electrolyte enables the use of lithium metal instead of graphite, boosting energy density by about 50%.
- This enables longer EV range without waiting for more advanced ceramic battery solutions.
