Benefits in lithium-ion

Faster charging. More available vehicle range.

Molecular Rebar-based improvements to available vehicle range are observed following increasingly high rates of charge.

Limitations in charge times have been a key barrier to electric vehicle adoption globally. With Molecular Rebar, charge times can be decreased substantially over typical carbon-black-based formulations.

Impact160 miles delivered in 15 minutes.

Molecular Rebar permits high charge currents to flow for longer before becoming limited by the battery's resistance. This improvement over conventional formulations opens new doors for battery and charger design.
