Why Now:

Electrification can’t wait for the Perfect Cell

Electrification can’t wait for a perfect battery cell. New high-energy chemistries (e.g., next-gen silicon, solid-state) promise major gains in energy density but introduce greater variability than today’s mass-produced NMC/LFP cells. Rather than removing the need for smart management, they increase it. Beyond passenger EVs, sectors like heavy-duty mobility, marine, and aviation, still struggle to achieve range, turnaround time, and lifetime at a viable TCO. Drones trade payload for flight time and replace packs frequently. Stationary storage purchasers push for better ROI. Add the incoming surge of end-of-life EV batteries and EU requirements such as the 2027 Battery Passport, and cell-level insight becomes mandatory.

Passive, monitor-only BMS platforms were “good enough” for the last decade. The next decade needs a next-generation BMS that actively manages cells, unlocks more usable capacity, extends life, and produces trustworthy, traceable data. It will unlock the full potential of batteries & next wave of battery markets.
