Europe's Battery Future: ElevenEs Forges a De-Risked Path Through Industry Challenges

The ambition for a thriving European battery industry has been clear, but the journey has been anything but straightforward. We’ve seen significant hurdles, including high scrap rates (exceeding 50% for some ventures), difficulties in scaling unproven technologies, and costly delays. These challenges, sometimes stemming from market shocks or shifts in technology, have understandably led to investor caution and concerns among OEMs about reliable supply. The recent setbacks experienced by some players, including bankruptcies and slowdowns in production capacity build-out, underscore the demanding nature of this emerging market.

But here at ElevenEs, we believe these challenges are not roadblocks, but rather opportunities to build a stronger foundation. We’ve systematically engineered solutions to these historical risks, focusing on robust manufacturing and unparalleled quality control to deliver a truly de-risked pathway for European battery production.

Proven Performance: Our LFP Blade Cell Advantage

While the wider industry grapples with initial high scrap rates, our LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) blade cell manufacturing process, rigorously validated on our pilot line right here in Belgrade, Serbia, consistently demonstrates exceptional performance from day one. We’re not just aiming for success; we’re achieving it:

• >95% Electrode Coating Yield: Ensuring minimal waste at a critical production stage.
• >98% Formation Pass Rate: High reliability in the crucial initial charging cycles.
• 92% Yield from Slurry to Calendered Electrodes: Maximizing output from raw materials to finished components.

These aren’t aspirational targets; these are results we’ve already achieved. This rigorous validation and proven efficiency are how ElevenEs is building trust and delivering a reliable route to scalable, high-quality European battery production.

Building Trust: Why Our Approach Matters

The European lithium-ion battery industry is indeed poised for accelerated development in the coming years, with strategic policies promoting localized supply chains and significant investments from global players. ElevenEs is at the forefront of this evolution, not just by contributing capacity, but by setting a new standard for operational excellence.

By leveraging cutting-edge quality control and a deeply validated manufacturing process, we are directly addressing the issues of scrap rates, scalability, and reliability that have plagued parts of the industry. This focus ensures that our batteries are not just innovative, but consistently high-performing, providing the confidence that OEMs and investors need.

We are committed to solidifying the foundation for a thriving, resilient, and high-performing electric vehicle ecosystem right here in Europe. The future of electric mobility is being built, and ElevenEs is ensuring it’s built on a bedrock of trust and proven quality.
