At the core of ONE’s innovation lies a strategic inclination toward lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries over conventional lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) chemistry. Emphasizing safety, extended cycle life, and cost efficiency, ONE confronts the looming challenge of thermal runaway – a pressing concern in lithium-ion batteries, with a chemical focus on three pivotal ingredients…
ONE made headlines in early 2022 when it completed a 752-mile (1,210 km) test drive through the US state of Michigan on a single charge, in the Gemini 1, a Tesla Model S equipped with a ONE battery—a feat which it then followed with an even higher single-charge range of 882 miles.
At its factory in Van Buren Township, Michigan, ONE produces cells and assembles full battery packs. The company is preparing to increase output to the equivalent of around 35,000 automobile battery by the end of 2024, and 100,000 the following year.
