London, UK – About:Energy, a world-leading innovator in battery development software, today announced a series of significant growth milestones. This expansion reinforces its position as a crucial technical partner for organizations seeking to accelerate time to market, reduce development costs, and make precise, right-first-time decisions through advanced simulation.
Expanding Simulation Capabilities with The Voltt
Central to About:Energy’s offering is The Voltt, its flagship database of commercial battery models. This comprehensive library now features over 30 high-performance cells, encompassing a wide range of formats and chemistries. It includes models from industry leaders such as LG, Samsung, and Molicel, alongside those from next-generation innovators like Amprius and Inobat. This expanded resource enables customers to evaluate cell selection, thermal strategies, and fast-charging protocols early in the design process, fostering faster and more confident technical and commercial decisions.
Unparalleled Data from Dedicated In-House Testing
About:Energy has now rigorously tested over 500 commercial cells at its 3,000ft² London facility, including comprehensive 12-month degradation programmes. This extensive testing underpins the company’s industry-leading simulation models. Critically, About:Energy collects all its own high-precision data, ensuring complete accuracy and reliability without relying on manufacturer specifications or third-party sources. These robust models empower engineering teams to make precise decisions, avoiding costly guesswork and accelerating design timelines without compromising accuracy.
Kieran O’Regan, CGO and co-founder of About:Energy, emphasized the importance of their testing capabilities: “The London test facility has been critical to unlocking our growth. It gives us complete control over how we test and validate cells, enabling us to meet customer timelines far more reliably. For companies pursuing aircraft certification or working to urgent defence timelines, access to high-quality data quickly is often the key blocker. We’ve removed that blocker.“
Strengthening Expertise and Team Growth
Further supporting its rapid expansion, About:Energy’s team has grown by over 50% this year, now comprising 20 employees. This includes key hires from leading technology and battery companies, significantly deepening customer support and technical capabilities while scaling product development and customer success. Recent senior appointments include Lorenzo Bergamaschi (Founder’s Associate, formerly CTO at Allye), Emily Anshaw (Head of People Operations, ex-Transition Zero), Jack Evans (Lead Test Engineer, ex-Northvolt), and Miles Robertson (Staff Applications Engineer, previously with McLaren and Lilium).
Strategic Industry Impact and CEO Vision
About:Energy’s customer base continues to diversify, showing growing traction across critical sectors such as space, defence, aviation, drones, automotive, and motorsport. Most customers leverage the company’s models and data for early design decisions regarding cell selection, thermal management, or fast charging, thereby reducing the need for extensive hardware investment. The company also continues to deepen relationships with US and EU cell manufacturers, assisting them in delivering enhanced data products, which is particularly valuable where supply chain security and local sourcing are priorities.
Gavin White, Co-founder and CEO of About:Energy, highlighted the market’s evolving recognition: “We’re seeing momentum as companies recognise the value of simulation-based battery development. Our platform helps engineers answer critical questions before investing in hardware—whether testing motorsports drive cycles, thermal models for eVTOL missions, or predicting cycle life for drones. The Voltt eliminates the barrier of needing extensive engineering teams and lab facilities to predict battery behaviours.“
The company’s impressive growth trajectory is further bolstered by strategic guidance from an accomplished roster of advisors. This includes Thierry Bolloré, former CEO of Jaguar Land Rover and Renault, known for spearheading electrification strategies, and Tudor Brown, Co-Founder and former President of ARM Holdings, who was instrumental in developing ARM’s innovative business model. Their expertise is crucial in scaling both the technical and commercial aspects of About:Energy‘s business.
