UNIGRID Begins Commercial-Scale Deliveries of Sodium-Ion Batteries

United States

UNIGRID Inc., the ultra-safe sodium-ion battery company, today announced that it has begun commercial-volume international shipments of its proprietary NCO sodium-ion cells. This milestone positions U.S.-based UNIGRID as the first battery company outside of China to export sodium-ion at scale, enabled by critical transport certifications and its cost-efficient foundry manufacturing model. Scaling new battery chemistries is typically constrained by the high costs and long timelines of building dedicated gigafactories, which slows commercialization and limits access to emerging technologies. UNIGRID operates a fab-less, foundry-subscription model, scaling its proprietary sodium-ion cell chemistry through manufacturing partners rather than building capital-intensive gigafactories. This approach …
