Startup Series: ONE

Today's guest is Mujeeb Ijaz, Founder and CEO of ONE. Widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) not only face technical challenges, but also psychological barriers that consumers need to overcome. ONE has the audacious goal to design a battery that can double the range of EVs while using sustainable and safe materials, avoiding nickel and cobalt in particular. The company is also working to develop and localize raw material supply chains to bring down costs associated with this clean energy solution. In this episode, we dig into battery range anxiety, its impact on widespread EV adoption, and how charging networks can create additional barriers for EV drivers. We also talk about ONE’s solution to these EV battery challenges, the company’s breakthrough technology, and its focus on finding the right talent to successfully realize its go-to-market plan.
