Power Shift: Navigating the Intersection of Energy and Transportation

We were proud to have our COO, Tim Dumbleton, featured in a recent Tech Brew Fireside Chat in New York City. With an audience of executives from the automobile industry, the discussion explored the critical role of energy storage in the future of modern transportation, with a particular focus on EV charging infrastructure. Tim also addressed the importance of public education around energy storage system safety, as well as the innovative solutions our team is developing to meet growing energy demands sustainably.
