“We're never going to out-compete them in a race to the bottom on cost with conventional battery materials. We need to be investing in next-generation products that can leapfrog the status quo.” Last week at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Energy Institute's Critical Minerals Summit, our Head of Government Affairs, Alex Fitzsimmons, joined industry experts and government officials to discuss how new battery technologies and policy reform can reduce our domestic reliance on critical minerals from Chinese-dominated supply chains. #energysecurity #criticalminerals #supplychain

Global demand for EV batteries rose 40% in 2023 from the previous year, with the fastest growth coming in the U.S. and Europe, according to the International Energy Agency. The electric transition is happening. However, the mass adoption of EVs is still dependent on winning over consumers by delivering better #battery performance. The The Wall Street Journal covers the news of our $375M Series G funding, how our Titan Silicon anode improves #EV performance, and the outlook for the industry. Read on: https://lnkd.in/e48X6k58

We are pleased to announce that we have raised $375M in a close of our Series G funding led by existing investors Sutter Hill Ventures and funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price, with participation by new outside investors as well as existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Coatue, Perry Creek Capital, and others. The round focuses on production scale-up and delivering our Titan Silicon anode for auto series production. Our Co-founder and CEO, Gene Berdichevsky, said, “Our investors share the perspective that the world will transition to fully electric. Every automaker knows the future must be electric and realizes that the path to broader adoption isn’t through cost reduction alone. To transform the world and meet consumer expectations, the industry needs to take the next big step on battery performance and charging speeds. With Sila, automakers can deliver next-generation EVs that will win over those who expect more from their electric experience.”  Read full press release: https://lnkd.in/eh-PUQXb
