			<description><![CDATA[It’s March 2020, the world is shook in so many ways, one of those was the working dynamic, with many businesses and employees turning to remote working for the very first time. It quickly became the norm and widely accepted, but fast forward to the present day, and there seems to be a shift back to office. In this episode, we cover this trend, clearing up a lot of myths and facts and talking about employee flexibility versus employee collaboration, and on all of these topics, our guests provides advice for employees and employers on how you can better manage this transition. Our guest, Angie Williams is the Director of HR at Invinity Energy Systems, and has 15 years of international HR experience, navigating many shifts in the working world, with a passion for building change resilience. Change is part of our history and our future, and being resilient to change is essential to thriving in your life and career.

			<description><![CDATA[With CATL&#39;s recent statement that &quot;Solid-State Batteries won&#39;t work&quot;, this episode is perfectly timed! I&#39;m joined by the solid-state giant, Blue Solutions, who are arguable one of the most advanced solid-state companies in the world. Adrian Tylim joins me, who has a Masters in Energy Systems Engineering, he’d had an incredibly successful career in the renewables industry. Including some impressive work with NASA, he&#39;s also been a successful founder &amp; CTO before joining Blue Solutions in 2018 as the Head of Business Development. He gives us his opinion on CATL’s recent comments, the future of solid-state, Blue Solution’s ownership and how important ownership is to the success and longevity of battery businesses. We also talk about their project in 2012, where they launched 5,000 solid-state battery powered Renault EVs onto streets, their successful partnership with Daimler in Paris, with solid-state powered buses, along with their exciting plans for the Paris 2024 Olympics. We talk about their generation 4 cells, their capacity for vertical integration and how they’re supporting the rest of the solid-state community through their lithium-metal and ultra-thin film manufacturing expertise. Finally we talk about the circulatory of the battery industry, with pressing importance on safety and battery recycling.

For a Take Charge first, we&#39;re joined by a father &amp; son duo; Johnnie and Taylor Stoker, Co-Founders of Ultion Technologies located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Johnnie is the CEO, who founded and grew K2 Energy to become a leader in the LFP space. During his successful 18 year tenure, with plenty of those spent in China, he learned invaluable lessons and recently identified a huge opportunity to focus efforts on an ‘American Made’ solution. To answer the aforementioned questions, we talk about horizontal v vertical integration, the EV gold rush versus other applications, misalignment between revenue and production, dry process and much more. It was a real honour to be joined by Johnnie and Taylor, and we&#39;re excited to see what the future holds for Ultion Tech.

			<description><![CDATA[Hieu Duong, the Chief Manufacturing Officer of AM Batteries joins me to discuss their dry battery electrode manufacturing process, whilst discussing his experience with Maxwell Technologies and Tesla post acquisition. We acknowledge their recent $30M series B funding round and what this means for the business, whilst talking through the various opportunities dry process manufacturing presents in the United States. As well as reduced costs, increased efficiency and environmental benefits, this process presents an opportunity for manufacturing talent across the US to more easily transition into battery manufacturing, versus existing wet-coating processes. This could be a huge solution to the personnel challenge we have, facilitating US Gigafactories. Hieu, let’s Take Charge!<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[I’m joined today by Ramachandra (Ram) Revur, who is the Co-Founder &amp; COO of NavaFlex (formerly FlexEnergy LLC). The press you see around Batteries and Electrification is typically across EV, Energy Storage and eVTOL, but in this episode, we spotlight wearables and flexible batteries as a market with great potential. Ram talks us through the different application areas, such as medical, military and construction, how batteries can survive in the washing machine and why this industry has a bright future ahead. Perhaps you’re curious about how your battery &amp; electrification career will look in the future, well this podcast provides insight to a pathway you might just want to consider.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you to the New York Fire Department for the video that opens this podcast. It’s a scary reminder of how important battery safety is, as we scale these technologies to electrify our future. It’s alarming when you think about all the times you’ve been close to an e-bike, at a café, walking down the street or sat in traffic. Brian Morin, the Founder &amp; CEO of Soteria joins me to talk all things battery and e-bike safety, highlighting some eye-opening figures from their recent research project, sharing pieces of the report Soteria will release early 2024. It’s critical human-centric issues such as these that are so important to discuss, so thank you Brian for Taking Charge.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

We talk about the EV Truck market and their mini-EV Truck, which is designed by the world-renowned designer Yves Behar, who is also a Co-Founder, as well as the Chief Creative Officer at Telo. I really enjoyed talking to the guys about how trucks got so big in North America, the safety and efficiency issues it has brought and how the EV truck market needs to become more human centric. Lots of fascinating data and figures flying around in this episode, we hope you enjoy. So Forrest, Jason, it’s time to Take Charge.  <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
