Our Next Energy (ONE) CEO Mujeeb Ijaz stands next to Aries lithium iron phosphate battery packs waiting to undergo testing at ONE's headquarters in Novi, Michigan, U.S., April 25, 2022.
ONE’s Aries II cells use cathodes made of lithium iron phosphate.
The Aries II packs are slated to go into pilot production late next year at ONE’s new factory in Van Buren Township in southeastern Michigan.
Gemini marries LFP cells similar to those used in the Aries pack with higher-energy cells that act as a range extender as charge is depleted.
Today’s battery packs can cost from $12,000 to $20,000, depending on battery size, weight, chemistry and output.
