Cuberg’s Post

Northvolt will transition the development of lithium-metal battery technology from Cuberg to Northvolt Labs in Västerås, Sweden. This decision aligns with Northvolt’s broader strategy to consolidate advanced battery technologies under one roof, enhancing the efficiency of R&D and streamlining the path to industrialization.  For more details, please read the full press release ↓  https://lnkd.in/d4Vgy3Uf

We’re excited to release a validation report of our first-generation lithium-metal battery module. The results highlight the exceptional performance of Cuberg's lithium-metal technology and represent the world’s first third-party validation of a lithium-metal battery module.   While a testament to the performance of lithium-metal technology, the results also mark a significant step forward in the industrialization of the technology — something which is key as we look beyond aviation applications for lithium-metal technology.   Shauna McIntyre, Cuberg CEO, comments: "Our mission at Cuberg is to expand the frontier of electrification. The validation of our first lithium-metal module marks a milestone in our journey towards commercial lithium-metal battery solutions. With a focus on performance, safety and reliability, we're committed to accelerating the adoption of electrification across new market segments and the transition to a cleaner future."

Earlier this week, Cuberg engaged in the 2024 Milken Institute Conference, with CEO Shauna McIntyre joining panel discussions on Critical Minerals and the Future of Mobility.   Through discussions both on-stage and off, we were reminded that developing next-generation lithium-metal batteries, as we are at Cuberg, is both exciting and tremendously significant for the future of mobility, but that ensuring a sustainable model for the battery industry, particularly in relation to critical minerals, is fundamental to wider success in the energy transition.   Our appreciation goes out to the organizers of what was a fantastic event, drawing together a diverse collection of minds for illuminating discussions and encouraging perspective on the paths ahead as we work towards a more sustainable future.   Thank you also to our co-panelists:  The Future of Mobility with Pablo Di Si, CEO of VW America, Éric Martel, President and CEO of Bombardier, Stella. Li, CEO BYD Americas, Andrew Littlefair, CEO Clean Energy, and Diane Brady, Executive Director of Fortune Live Media.    Critical Minerals: Mining the Future Economy with Amos Hochstein, US State Department, Amit Midha, CEO Alat, Ari Untracht, Eldridge, and Zimi Meka, Co-Founder & CEO Ausenco.

"Everyone working here has a vision, you can see it. It's exciting to be part of a team and a project that ideally will change the world — or at least parts of it!" Meet Mary York, Battery Engineer at Cuberg, working in San Leandro, California. At Cuberg, Mary gets to work with cutting-edge lithium-metal technology at the forefront of battery innovation.

At Cuberg, we’re building batteries for a brighter, more sustainable future. We know batteries will be key, but we also want to build a battery industry that benefits from far greater representation of women than we see today. Taking an opportunity to reflect on where we are and what we can do to accelerate that future, we marked International Women’s Day on Friday with a panel discussion at our office. Leading the discussion were Shauna McIntyre (Cuberg CEO), Arielle Ring (CFO), Anne Torricelli (Head of Business Development), Olivia Risset (Head of Supply Chain), Asma Sharafi (Staff Engineer, Cell Mechanical Design), and Hannah Lundeen (Senior Workforce Development Specialist).

Congratulations to the entire Northvolt team for achieving this tremendous milestone.

Cuberg's new CEO, Shauna McIntyre was introduced today by Northvolt CEO and Co-Founder Peter Carlsson during a ribbon-cutting event for the opening of a new facility for the development of next-generation lithium-metal battery technologies in the Bay Area. We were honoured to have the new facility inaugurated by Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy, who provided a keynote address, alongside David Hochschild, Chair of the California Energy Commission and Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California’s 12th District. Shauna commented: “Northvolt is a pioneer in its approach, bringing the necessary combination of speed, scale and sustainability to the battery industry. I am honored to join the company and take on the leadership of Cuberg. I look forward to working with the employees of Cuberg in driving the development of lithium-metal technology towards fulfilling its enormous potential. The facility inaugurated today will play a key role in that future, and in enabling new frontiers of electrification with next-generation battery technology.”

Cuberg Founder and CEO Richard Wang spoke at the BloombergNEF Summit in San Francisco this January as part of a plenary moderated by Takehiro Kawahara. https://lnkd.in/gbj4sK-x Richard treated the audience to an exclusive reveal of performance metrics from an upcoming validation report of Cuberg’s #evtol Battery Module. Cuberg’s Module has achieved an externally validated specific energy of at least 270 Wh/kg, which massively expands the possible flight range of a typical 7,000 lb eVTOL.
