An affiliate of Quantum Valley Investments acquired the assets of Enevate Corporation during the company's liquidation, according to Charged EVs. The transaction has been completed. The purchase price was not disclosed in the source.
Enevate Corporation was a silicon-anode developer. Enevate Technologies, a separate company, says it builds on technology and team members from Enevate Corporation. Enevate Technologies has introduced Trifecta, a licensable battery cell technology intended for applications including drones, humanoid robots, race cars, data center power systems and electric aircraft. The company says Trifecta designs match or exceed the specific energy of leading lithium-metal and solid-state cells without their usual safety and charge-rate problems.
Enevate Technologies has published five configurations, all modeled designs that build on a proof of concept with earlier prototype cells. Trifecta Surge is the power version, at 400 Wh/kg and a 40 C rate for 500 cycles, intended for racing, data center power and heavy-lift drones. Trifecta Prime is modeled at 425 Wh/kg, 20 C and 1,000 cycles for humanoid robots, commercial drones and eVTOL aircraft. Trifecta Sprint reaches 480 Wh/kg at 20 C but lasts only 20 to 50 cycles, for high-power, limited-use systems. Trifecta Range offers the highest specific energy at 545 Wh/kg, a 1 C rate and the same 20 to 50 cycles, for long-endurance and single-mission drones. Trifecta Endurance is modeled at 475 Wh/kg at 1 C with a 1,000-cycle life for long-life platforms at moderate power.
Enevate Technologies says it works with each customer to match or tailor a configuration, then helps arrange production by a licensee, through a custom build or by the customer's existing supplier. Benjamin Park, CEO of Enevate Technologies, said: "Engineers have spent years designing around their batteries. Trifecta flips that. We want to have open conversations about how our technology can change how you design things."
