Offgrid Energy Labs is in the process of developing fundamental battery chemistry, with a focus on its zinc-based technology. This innovative approach aims to enable batteries to store a substantial amount of charge over extended periods while maintaining stability and cost-effectiveness. Notable features of this technology include high roundtrip efficiencies, rapid charging and discharging capabilities, and an extended cycle life, making it versatile for various applications. Offgrid's batteries have the potential to influence grid balancing, expedite the charging of electric vehicles, and address power mobility needs, particularly in situations with relatively low energy density requirements, such as scooters, auto rickshaws, and tempos, which are significant modes of transportation in many parts of the world.
Ankur's investment is poised to support Offgrid Energy Labs in transitioning from laboratory development to the commercial market.
