Building on this platform, we have developed a portfolio of NMC cells optimized for distinct operating needs. Our 48Ah cell is engineered for high-power, fast-charging use cases, capable of sustaining a 3C continuous charge and discharge (equivalent to a full cycle in approximately 20 minutes) while delivering more than 8,000 cycles with a SOH above 80%. This makes it a preferred solution for mission-critical applications such as buses or logistics fleets requiring rapid turnaround.
Current report
The 55Ah cell strikes a balance between energy and power density, offering an energy density near 250 Wh/kg and supporting 3C operation of over 6,000 cycles with an SOH above 80% under full SOC cycling. Its dual-optimized profile enables deployment across a variety of demanding commercial and specialty vehicle platforms.
Current report
For applications where extended range and high energy density are paramount, we have introduced a 120Ah cell with energy density of approximately 270 Wh/kg. Under 1C charge/discharge conditions, the 120Ah cell maintains more than 5,000 full-depth charge/discharge cycles with SOH retention above 80%. With the integration of the high-voltage control box and thermal management systems, including pump and coolant, the complete power solution achieves a system-level energy density of approximately 200 Wh/kg. It is ideal for heavy-duty vehicles operating in long-haul scenarios where volumetric and gravimetric energy constraints are critical.

Our 565Ah LFP cell adopts an aqueous-based slurry system for both cathode and anode production, which avoids the use of costly NMP (N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone) solvents and aligns better with regulatory and environmental conditions in North America. The planned cell production line in Clarksville, Tennessee is designed as a vertically integrated manufacturing facility, to enable production of battery cells and trays as well as the containers. Although construction progress has been delayed due to funding constraints, we remain committed to completing the Clarksville facility and establishing it as our primary U.S. base for LFP production.
Current report
In January 2025, we announced what we believe is a major breakthrough in all-solid-state battery (“ASSB”) technology. Our architecture eliminates all liquid or gel electrolytes through a proprietary non-porous solid electrolyte membrane and a bipolar stacking configuration. This enables single-cell voltages beyond conventional limits, potentially enabling outputs of tens to hundreds of volts. We have demonstrated a 48-volt monolithic cell as a functional prototype, with potential scalability to higher voltages as required. The current ASSB design includes inherent fault tolerance, unlike conventional cells, which prevents a single point of failure from taking down an entire system. This cell design, if able to be commercialized, could have potential use cases in emerging high-growth sectors. The bipolar design reduces the need for interconnects at the module and pack level, resulting in improved energy density, simplified system architecture, and enhanced safety. We are evaluating the industrialization paths and planning to establish a pilot line for production study.
Current report

Because of delays in securing additional financing, in the fourth quarter of 2023 we began experiencing slow progress in continuing construction of our Clarksville expansion, slowing down certain construction work streams due to the need for additional financing. This facility was initially intended to produce 53.5Ah cells for our ESS solutions; however, we believe that LFP cells are better suited for our ESS solutions and intend to utilize the Tennessee facility to produce LFP cells instead of 53.5Ah cells. Additionally, our ESS products that were previously developed and assembled in Colorado are now planned to be assembled at our Tennessee facility once the facility is completed. The proceeds from the Business Combination alone were not sufficient to complete the Clarksville expansion and meet our general working capital needs and due to foreign restrictions and adverse tax consequences as well as the working capital needs of Microvast Power Systems Co. Ltd., we are unable to repatriate cash from China to pay our accounts payable in the U.S. and fund the continued expansion of our U.S. operations. We are seeking alternative sources of capital. Until financing is in place, this will limit our growth opportunities, especially in the U.S. market where our customers desire products that meet their domestic content requirements. We are seeking to secure financing to complete the Tennessee facility.
