04 — Manufacturing
From bench to gigafactory, on the lines we already know.
Our roadmap to 50 GWh by 2030 doesn’t depend on inventing new equipment — only on stamping cells on the equipment the world has already invested a trillion dollars to build.
- 2024Pilot line online200 MWh / yr — first quasi-solid-state pouch line on roll-to-roll.
- 2026Gigafab — phase 12 GWh / yr — automotive samples shipping to lead OEM partners.
- 2028Joint-venture scale-up20 GWh / yr — partner gigafactory, fleet-grade output.
- 2030Full vertical integration50 GWh / yr — closed-loop lithium reclamation across the network.
Leading the future of global sustainable energy transition with pioneering materials and compute.
A diverse team of scientists and engineers — chemical physics, nanoelectronics, semiconductor design, quantum hardware, machine learning — building the next generation of advanced-chemistry cells.
