IONETIC launches battery pack design platform

Author: EIS Release Date: Sep 15, 2022

IONETIC, the UK EV battery pack start-up specialist, has launched an EV battery pack design platform, which can cut the development cost and time for automotive manufacturers bringing a new electric vehicle to market.

 

IONETIC claims to offer a blend of cost and customisation to help accelerate battery pack development.

 

It claims its software-based platform can boost energy density by 30% and increase utilisation of pack volume by up to 120%, compared to other off-the-shelf products.

 

It says it can produce a battery pack design in days and reduce the costs of getting from requirements to mass manufacture by over 90% for automotive OEMs.

 

This is due to the platform’s ability to automatically generate designs according to a series of fully adjustable parameters, while offering a vertically integrated solution to battery pack production, which includes homologation and mass manufacture.

 

IONETIC is planning to open its first UK-based battery manufacturing facility next year, which will enable it to begin pilot production of its own battery pack designs.

 

This will give  IONETIC the capability to offer an end-to-end, in-house battery solution, from conceptualisation and prototyping through to homologation and production.

 

“We’re currently focusing on niche automotive companies in the UK and Europe,” says CEO James Eaton, “they typically make less than 10,000 vehicles per year, so probably don’t meet the minimum order quantities of large global battery pack suppliers, or can’t meet their high design fees.”
