Breaking the Battery Supply Chain: Integrals Power Sources Materials from Europe and US for Enhanced Durability, Security
Integrals Power differentiates itself from competitors by sourcing raw materials from Europe and the US, rather than China where the majority of cathode active materials are produced. This strategy aims to strengthen the supply chain security and transparency of the company, as stated by Integrals Power Founder and CEO Behnam Hormozi. By avoiding geopolitical issues such as import tariffs and sourcing critical elements like cobalt from alternative regions, Integrals Power can support cell suppliers and vehicle manufacturers in developing more robust and reliable supply chains.
To further this momentum, Integrals Power is in the process of constructing a pilot plant in the UK to produce prototype materials on a larger scale. With the support of the UK government and collaborations with research institutions and universities, Integrals Power is making significant strides in the industry. A global vehicle manufacturer is currently evaluating the company’s technology, indicating progress towards mass production.
Looking ahead, Behnam emphasizes the importance of the cathode in determining the overall performance, cost, and durability of batteries. Integrals Power’s innovations in cathode active materials have the potential to revolutionize electric vehicles, enabling them to achieve longer range, faster charging, and superior performance from smaller and lighter battery packs. By pushing the boundaries of battery technology, Integrals Power is paving
