Laying a foundation for the sodium-ion revolution.
We’re Repowering the EV Industry with Abundant Materials
Bedrock Materials was founded to reduce the cost of electric vehicles through the commercialization of sodium-ion battery (SIB) materials. We design and manufacture engineered electrode materials that allow the world’s battery makers to produce SIB at scale.
We believe that reducing the cost of clean transportation is crucial to accelerate its mass market adoption, particularly in lower-income and developing economies around the world.
As lithium-ion technology plateaus, the next great frontier of battery technology is found in the world’s sixth-most abundant element: sodium.
A Perfect Opportunity for Innovation
Recent advancements in electric vehicle technology have made it possible for sodium-ion batteries to deliver performance previously only attainable through lithium-ion.
Fast Charging
EV charging is 288% faster2 and 10 times more ubiquitous3 than ten years ago, making shorter-range batteries an option for many consumers.
