Amprius’ 40 Ah high-performance cells were selected due to their
higher energy density, safety features, and competitive costs.
These larger format cells are specifically built for LEV
applications, validating Amprius’ position as a key player in the
sector as more customers are drawn to the distinct advantages of
the Company’s industry leading battery performance.
“This is another strong customer commitment following our recent
2 GWh potential LOI with a Fortune 500 company. The attraction of
Amprius battery performance enables us to accelerate the customer
commercial validation process of our growing sales pipeline,” said
Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius Technologies. “With over 500 MWh of
capacity currently available, we can quickly meet increasing demand
for Amprius high-performance silicon anode batteries in light
electric vehicles and aviation. This is just the beginning, and we
expect this momentum to drive significant business growth, with
more purchase orders on the horizon to support the expanding demand
in electric mobility applications.”
In June, Amprius announced several contract manufacturers across
a network of established Asia-based manufacturers, allowing for the
Company to fulfill customer demand by providing immediate scale-up
flexibility without incremental capital expenditures. Utilizing the
available capacity, Amprius is committed to advancing commercial
engagements with customers across the various sectors of the
electric mobility industry. In the first half of 2024, Amprius
shipped batteries to over 130 customers, 100 of which were new.
Amprius is also continuing to ramp up its Fremont, California
facility to 2 MWh and finalize design plans for its gigawatt-hour
scale factory in Brighton, Colorado.
As the need for additional energy and power solutions in the LEV
market increases, Amprius continues to work with the growing
industry and announced it signed an LOI with a Fortune Global 500
leader in LEVs earlier in September.
The LEV market is expected to grow rapidly, reaching an
estimated $205.7 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 9.74% from 2023 onward, according to a Providence
Research Report. This growth will continue to drive increasing
demand for high-performance batteries across the micro-mobility
sector.
