KULR and Worksport Forge Strategic Partnership to Advance Battery Technology and U.S. Manufacturing
14 February 2025 - 12:30AM
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR)
(the "Company" or "KULR"), a leader in advanced energy management
platforms, and
Worksport Ltd. (Nasdaq: WKSP), a
pioneer in solar-integrated tonneau covers and portable energy
storage, have announced a strategic partnership focused on
advancing battery technology and strengthening domestic
manufacturing. The collaboration centers on three key areas: joint
battery pack development, thermal runaway protection, and
AI-integrated battery management system (BMS) software design.
Key Areas of Collaboration
- Joint Battery
Pack Development: KULR and Worksport will work together on the
development of Worksport’s COR Battery Pack System. This initiative
will focus on optimizing BMS requirements, refining cell
configurations, and improving overall system performance, safety,
and reliability.
- Software (BMS +
AI Integration): Both companies aim to incorporate AI-driven
software into the BMS, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive
maintenance, and advanced data analytics. These advancements will
optimize power distribution, extend battery lifespan, and reinforce
safety measures.
- Thermal Runaway
Protection: The partnership will look to integrate KULR’s patented
thermal runaway protection technology into Worksport’s battery
systems. This enhancement is expected to significantly improve
battery safety and longevity by mitigating thermal runaway
risks.
KULR will utilize its KULR ONE Design Solutions
(K1-DS) to evaluate the performance, cost efficiency, and
scalability of integrated battery solutions for the Worksport COR
system. With the first generation of Worksport SOLIS and COR set
for release in the second half of 2025, these studies will guide
future development and innovation. The K1-DS platform includes
advanced battery safety testing methodologies such as Fractional
Thermal Runaway Calorimetry (FTRC), bomb calorimetry, and
impingement zone mapping, ensuring thorough cell-level
characterization and safety optimization.
Market Growth and Business Impact
As demand for U.S.-based production
increases—fueled by the Trump administration’s emphasis on
tariffs—KULR and Worksport are exploring domestic manufacturing
options for the COR Battery Pack and related products. This
strategic move aligns with growing market preferences for
American-made energy solutions and positions both companies for
long-term scalability and expansion.
After expanding U.S. production in 2024,
Worksport’s revenue surged more than 450% from 2023 to 2024,
surpassing a monthly run rate of $1 million. Projections indicate
the company could reach nine figure revenues within the next two to
three years. This collaboration with KULR should advance
Worksport’s goal of transforming the $20 billion-plus portable
energy market through innovation and scalable manufacturing.
Through the integration of its advanced thermal
management technology and AI-powered BMS into Worksport’s products,
KULR expects to open new revenue streams and establish a
significant presence in the portable energy storage sector. The
portable energy system market is projected to reach between $21.95
billion and $24.8 billion by 2032, per a Q4 2024 report by Astute
Analytica, with an anticipated CAGR of 16% to over 24%. Battery
solutions under 3000 kWh, such as the COR, are key drivers of this
growth, particularly as off-grid and backup power needs continue to
expand.
