Automotive
Your Vehicle. Your Battery.
No Compromises.
In today's competitive automotive market, forcing an off-the-shelf battery into a purpose-built vehicle leads to compromised performance, dynamics, and customer experience. We empower OEMs and performance brands to break that cycle. Our end-to-end platform delivers fully bespoke battery solutions, optimised for your exact packaging, performance, and cost requirements on a faster, more capital-efficient path to market.
Custom battery packs for BEVs and plug-in hybrids, brought to market faster and more cost-effectively.
A Solution, Without Compromise.
At IONETIC, we know that when creating an unforgettable driving experience, every millimetre counts. Our process goes beyond optimising single dimensions; we harmonise power, weight, packaging, and cost to create a perfectly balanced system. This holistic approach ensures your battery isn't just a component, but the heart of a vehicle your customers will love to drive.
Bespoke Performance Without the Bespoke Price Tag.
Traditionally, custom battery development meant 8-figure development costs. Our approach changes that. By adapting our pre-validated architecture, we provide a capital-efficient path to a fully custom solution, giving you the performance and packaging you need at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional development program.
A Hybrid Approach to Powertrain Development.
Our platform is engineered to be a hybrid itself—perfectly suited for both pure EVs and plug-in hybrids. This versatility means you don't start from scratch on a new vehicle program. By adapting our proven architecture and validation pathways across different powertrain types, we significantly reduce your development costs and timelines, whether you're building a BEV, a PHEV, or both.
Our Platform Capabilities
Our flexible 2170 architecture can be optimised to meet a wide range of performance targets. Below are examples of how our platform can be configured for common automotive applications.

Powering a High-Performance Sports Car
For a premier brand launching a new all-electric vehicle, the battery system was a critical component that had to deliver uncompromising performance without altering the car's sleek, aerodynamic design. They needed a partner who could move as fast as their vehicle and develop a truly bespoke solution from the ground up.
The Challenge
The project presented a unique set of engineering challenges. A key obstacle was the need for an exceptionally low-profile battery pack that could be integrated into the chassis without raising the vehicle's floor. This had to be achieved while also striking the perfect balance between power output, energy density, and cost to create the ideal driving experience. Additionally, with key stakeholders and early customers waiting, the entire process required a rapid path from design to a functional prototype.
The Solution
IONETIC’s end-to-end platform was the key to turning these challenges into a success. By adapting our existing flexible battery architecture, IONETIC delivered a fully custom design while significantly reducing the high non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs typically associated with ground-up development. Our software tools and data-driven cell selection ensured the correct cell was chosen to meet the various attribute targets, while our integrated Arc technology stack and agile pilot manufacturing seamlessly transitioned the design into a physical prototype. The whole program was executed in 4 months, providing a faster, more capital-efficient path to market.
Optimising a Performance PHEV.
For a performance OEM developing a new plug-in hybrid, an off-the-shelf battery solution initially seemed viable. However, it quickly became apparent that this standard pack created significant compromises in passenger experience and vehicle dynamics, forcing them to seek a partner who could deliver a truly purpose-built and optimised solution.
The Challenge
The project's core challenge was packaging. While a standard battery pack could fit within the vehicle, its dimensions had a significant negative impact on interior space. Furthermore, the off-the-shelf pack was overweight and contained more energy than necessary for the vehicle's mission, needlessly hampering performance and efficiency. The customer also needed to translate their high-level vehicle performance targets into specific cell requirements to make an informed cell and chemistry choice.
The Solution
IONETIC’s design and manufacturing technology stack provided the deep customisation required. Using our flexible battery architecture, IONETIC designed a bespoke pack with every dimension optimised for the vehicle, achieving a 40% reduction in pack height and a 50% reduction in weight, restoring the intended passenger experience. Our software tools and engineering expertise were used to cascade the performance requirements from the vehicle down to the cell level, giving the customer the data-driven insight needed to select the perfect cell for their application, providing a clear, low capital path to a superior customer experience.
Designed around your requirements.
Every battery pack we create starts with your exact performance, cost, and integration needs. Using our scalable design system, we engineer packs specifically for your application, rather than forcing you into off-the-shelf constraints. This allows us to make the right trade-offs between power, energy density, chemistry, form factor, and lifetime to deliver a pack that truly fits your product.
Safety and validation built in.
By working with IONETIC, your battery benefits from existing, validated design systems. By leveraging prior validation work, we reduce certification complexity, de-risk compliance, and help ensure your battery meets the highest expectations for performance, reliability, and safety.
Faster time to market.
Our platform approach can cut up to two years from traditional battery development timelines. By building on proven architectures, validated subsystems, and automated design tools, we dramatically reduce engineering cycles and iteration time. That means you can move from concept to production faster — helping you launch sooner, capture market opportunities, and reduce development risk.
European manufacture.
With manufacturing based in Europe, we offer a trusted, local supply partner with clear communication and greater transparency. Shorter supply chains mean faster lead times, improved responsiveness, and better collaboration throughout development and production. For customers who value reliability, speed, and close working relationships, our European footprint delivers a meaningful operational advantage.
