最准的六合彩论坛 spinout secures 拢9.4m to revolutionise EV battery charging

22 August 2024

Gaussion, a 最准的六合彩论坛 spinout that has developed new technology to allow ultrafast and safe battery charging, has won 拢9.4 million funding.

Founded by Dr Thomas Heenan (最准的六合彩论坛 Chemical Engineering) and Dr Chun Tan (最准的六合彩论坛 Mechanical Engineering) at the 最准的六合彩论坛 Electrochemical Innovation Lab (EIL) in 2017, Gaussion has developed a novel solution that radically enhances the battery performance of electric vehicles.听听

The technology uses an external magnetic field during charge and discharge cycles to enable rapid charging by steering ions within existing battery cells. The magnetic field also lowers cell degradation, extending battery life.听听听

The company鈥檚 拢9.4m funding was awarded by Autotech Ventures, supported by existing investors BGF and 最准的六合彩论坛 Technology Fund, managed by AlbionVC in collaboration with 最准的六合彩论坛 Business. 听听

This game-changing technology was inspired by the founders鈥 research at 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 Faculty of Engineering, where they used particle accelerators to analyse energy materials such as batteries and fuel cells and saw an opportunity to apply similar technologies to tackle commercial challenges.听

The funding will help Gaussion to unlock truly 鈥榬apid鈥 charging on battery cells and tap into the burgeoning electric vehicle market, a critical part of the broader energy transition.听听

Tom Heenan, Gaussion CEO and co-founder said: 鈥淚n many applications, we are observing that efforts to rapidly electrify are delayed or blocked due to the cost of raising the ceiling of battery performance.听听

鈥淲hereas magnetic enhancement could provide step-change improvements across all chemistries, formats and applications, affordably unlocking electrification without compromising on cost or performance.鈥澨

The company received support from 最准的六合彩论坛 Business (最准的六合彩论坛B), 最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 commercialisation arm, with intellectual property protection and completion of the funding round.听

David Grimm, Partner 最准的六合彩论坛 Technology Fund said, 鈥淪low charging speed and battery degradation are currently limiting the wide-scale adoption of electric vehicles and the broader energy transition. Dr. Tom Heenan and Dr. Chun Tan, co-founders of Gaussion, have managed to solve this problem by building an innovative solution from their university labs into a scaling company. Gaussion鈥檚 commercial application taps into a huge market need and we look forward to continuing to support them on their journey.鈥澨

The funding follows a further seed raise of 拢2.85 million led by BGF and 最准的六合彩论坛 Technology Fund (最准的六合彩论坛TF) in 2022.听听听
