Thought Leadership
CENTENNIAL, Colo., Nov. 4, 2024 — Iontra Inc, a leader in next-generation battery charging technology announced today that it has been awarded a $2,150,000 ARPA-E grant to validate its innovative Pathfinder sensing technology to extend the usable life of EV batteries by delivering profoundly deeper, real-time information on cell state of health (SOH).
The funding is part of ARPA-E’s CIRCULAR program which aims to develop technologies to support a circular domestic supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries through enhanced longevity, regeneration, repair, reuse, and remanufacture.
“Iontra is excited to apply our groundbreaking technology to EV battery state sensing, having successfully launched Iontra charge control as our first application to vastly improve battery performance,” said Daniel Konopka, Co-Founder and CSO, Iontra. “We are grateful to ARPA-e’s CIRCULAR program for selecting Iontra and our partners at Idaho National Laboratory and Freudenberg. Together we will strengthen U.S. leadership in EV battery technologies. ”
