AnteoTech has received its first commercial order for its Ultranode battery anode technology, valued at AUD 40,000, from leading European electric vehicle manufacturer EV1 as part of its battery optimisation program.
David Radford, managing director and CEO of AnteoTech, expressed excitement over the commercial breakthrough.
“We are pleased to expand our relationship with EV1 and support not only their current battery optimisation programme using Anteo X, but their future battery vision of increased silicon content anodes,” Radford said.
The Ultranode anode technology, which contains 70 per cent silicon, is an upgrade from EV1’s current anode material that contains 10 per cent silicon.
The increased silicon content aims to boost energy density and performance, aligning with the growing demand for longer-lasting EV batteries.
Radford highlighted the importance of the first order: “This new commercial sale and evaluation will deepen our potential future engagement with this leading EV manufacturer. The higher silicon content will allow us to demonstrate the transformative power of Ultranode in the next few months.”
The order kicks off a testing and evaluation phase, where EV1 will assess the anode’s capabilities alongside its existing battery optimisation efforts using Anteo X.
The goal is to explore how the Ultranode can enhance battery performance and align with EV1’s future plans for adopting higher silicon battery anodes.
AnteoTech’s Ultranode technology replaces traditional graphite anodes with a more sustainable, high-performance design using low-cost silicon as the active material.
The company said it believes this approach provides a more efficient solution for lithium-ion batteries, which are essential to the clean energy transition.
This development marks a key step for AnteoTech as it progresses from research to revenue-generating commercial engagements in the clean energy market.
EV1’s evaluation of Ultranode is expected to unfold over the next several months, potentially paving the way for deeper collaboration.
