FAQ
Cost, timelines, volumes, warranty and certification, before you get in touch.
How much does a custom battery pack cost?
IONETIC does not publish fixed pack prices, because cost depends on energy, chemistry, cell format, annual volume and how much integration work the vehicle needs. What can be said precisely is the shape of the cost. A custom programme has traditionally meant development costs out of reach of all but the largest global OEMs, because a bespoke pack has meant bespoke tooling, a bespoke validation programme, and the capital cost of a dedicated production line spread across low volume. Pre-validated architectures and shared production processes remove those phases, so a customer buying hundreds or thousands of units reaches a cost base built on far more. That is how a genuinely custom pack becomes affordable at low and mid volume. Tell us the vehicle and the volume and we will give you a real number.
How long does it take to develop a custom battery pack?
With IONETIC, as little as 9 months from requirements to production, and 8 to 12 weeks to a first prototype. A traditional ground-up programme takes considerably longer because every subsystem is designed and validated from scratch. Three things compress it here: we start from architectures that are already engineered and validated, our software automates design and simulation work that otherwise takes months of manual engineering, and every design is linked to our manufacturing process from day one, which removes the redesign loop that usually follows a first prototype build.
How many vehicles do I need to be building to work with IONETIC?
Our platform is built for vehicle manufacturers producing roughly 100 to 15,000 units per model per year. That is the volume band where a fully bespoke development programme has traditionally been unaffordable, but an off-the-shelf pack forces real compromises on the vehicle. If you sit outside that range, it is still worth a conversation, because the constraint is usually the programme rather than the number.
Is IONETIC ISO 9001 certified?
Yes. IONETIC's quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 by BSI for the design and manufacture of battery systems for propulsion and energy storage applications. The scope covers the design work as well as the manufacturing, which matters when the same organisation is responsible for both.
What warranty does IONETIC provide on a battery pack?
Warranty is agreed per programme, because it has to reflect the chemistry, the duty cycle and how the vehicle is actually used rather than a generic figure. IONETIC's bus packs carry warranty of up to 15 years. Because we take responsibility from first concept through production to after-sales, the pack comes with one point of contact, one cost and one warranty, rather than a warranty split between a design partner and a manufacturer.
