By Madeline Lefton, Head of Government Affairs at Enovix Enovix is excited by two recent pieces of legislation that lay the groundwork for major improvements in the United States’ ability to grow a fully domestic lithium battery supply chain. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, both take…

By: Harrold Rust, Co-Founder, President & CEO For us at Enovix, this year’s U.S. Manufacturing Day — held the first Friday each October and falling on October 7th this year — is an opportunity to pause and take stock of how far we have come as a next-generation battery manufacturer…

Part II — How Enovix Novel 3D Architecture Makes it Possible In the first blog, we described the advantages of a silicon anode and the four killer problems that must be solved for its use. In this blog, we’ll explain how our battery architecture uniquely solves these problems.

Part 1 — Defining the Challenge Rapidly evolving consumer devices and sustainability efforts that are actively working to clean up and benefit our planet — all require better batteries. Historically, advancements in battery performance have come primarily from improvements in the active cathode and anode materials of the battery. While…

Powering Our Mobile Future — Part 3 The equation below shows the relationship between battery capacity (supply) and consumer satisfaction (demand) in a modern mobile device. The first and second posts in this series examined the role of battery life and user experience & functionality, respectively, in consumers’ satisfaction with…

Part 2: User Experience, Functionality, and Consumer Satisfaction The equation below shows the relationship between battery capacity (supply) and consumer satisfaction (demand). The first post in this series examined the role of battery life in consumers’ satisfaction with their mobile devices. This post examines user experience and functionality.

By Ashok Lahiri, CTO and Co-Founder and Cam Dales, GM and CCO It’s an exciting time for electric vehicles. With rapidly growing sales, many new models entering the market and substantial investments from both automotive OEMs and governments globally, the U.S. government’s goal of reaching 40–50% EV sales by 2030…

Part 1: Battery Life and Consumer Satisfaction The first commercial lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, commercialized in 1991, significantly increased energy density compared to the nickel-cadmium battery. Without this step-change increase in energy density, the brick-size cell phone of the 1980s would never have evolved to today’s sleek, sophisticated smartphones. Through 2020…

In June, the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (FCAB) published the National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, 2021–2030. We were pleased to see how many recommendations aligned with our strategy. In fact, we wrote a multi-part blog series looking at each mandate in the Blueprint and how our technology, production and…
