We’re back with another episode featuring Jonathan, a founder shaking up the battery tech industry!
Jonathan, a UC Berkeley Chemical Engineering grad, spent years in wastewater treatment before realizing the key driver of adoption was economics. In 2017, he and his co-founders, frustrated with their jobs, started their own company after working in thin film membrane industries.

Today they are building Coreshell, a company helping replace the use of Graphite in batteries while also making us less reliant on China, the main global supplier of Graphite. 
In this episode, we cover:
<ul>
<li>The lack of true innovation in battery tech over the last 20 years.</li>
<li>How luxury EVs focus on range, while China slashes prices.</li>
<li>How Coreshell’s tech could reduce reliance on China’s graphite monopoly.</li>
<li>The EU’s take on battery recycling vs. US policy.</li>
</ul>
