The 752-Mile Electric Vehicle Battery, with Mujeeb Ijaz

Written By Martin Kahl

GUEST: Mujeeb Ijaz , Founder & CEO of ONE.ai

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

One of the major barriers to entry for anyone switching to an electric vehicle (EV) for the first time is the issue of range.

In this episode, we talk to the founder and CEO of Our Next Energy (ONE.ai), the Detroit-headquartered battery startup that made headlines when it completed a 752-mile (1,210 km) test drive through the US state of Michigan on a single charge, in the Gemini 1, a Tesla Model S equipped with a ONE battery. A separate test recorded an even higher single-charge range, of 882 miles.

This conversation covers the history of ONE.ai and the development of the long-range battery, the company's plans, potential use cases, sustainability in terms of cobalt- and nickel-free production and second-life, and of course the issues of charging and range.
