Mobius Energy Partners with DUST Identity to secure battery supply chain

High-pow­er bat­tery provider for elec­tric air­craft Mobius Ener­gy will col­lab­o­rate with DUST Iden­ti­ty to help elec­tric air­craft man­u­fac­tur­ers accel­er­ate their tran­si­tion to renew­able ener­gy sources.

DUST anti-tam­per secu­ri­ty and dig­i­tal thread tech­nol­o­gy ensure the bat­tery life­time trace­abil­i­ty through the sec­ond life reuse and the end of life recov­ery. The eVTOL mar­ket is expect­ed to reach $322 bil­lion by 2030, accord­ing to Mor­gan Stanley’s BluePa­per.

As a lead­ing provider of bat­ter­ies for elec­tric air­craft, Mobius’ Husky bat­tery mod­ule has two life stages: first-life deploy­ment on elec­tric air­craft and sec­ond-life mobile super­charg­er.

In addi­tion to ensur­ing Mobius Husky bat­tery mod­ules are nev­er tam­pered with, this imple­men­ta­tion of DUST’s tech­nol­o­gy will also allow for real-time track­ing of each mod­ule along with its per­for­mance his­to­ry and main­te­nance logs. This will help fleet oper­a­tors to opti­mise ener­gy usage and ensure prop­er mod­ule ser­vic­ing or replace­ment sched­ules.

In March 2022, the EU pro­posed a dig­i­tal record sys­tem to enable the trans­fer of key infor­ma­tion between par­ties, the bat­tery pass­port, to achieve sus­tain­able bat­tery life cycles.

DUST’s plat­form is designed to be com­pat­i­ble with the pro­posed EU bat­tery pass­port require­ments. Fur­ther­more, it pro­vides a high­er lev­el of secu­ri­ty because its unique phys­i­cal mark­ers can­not be cloned nor tam­pered with.

“With our focus on safe­ty and brand integri­ty, it was essen­tial for us to find a part­ner who could pro­vide us with end-to-end secu­ri­ty and data trans­paren­cy for our bat­tery,” said Eugene Choi, founder and CEO of Mobius ener­gy.

“DUST’s tech­nol­o­gy pro­vides an unri­valed lev­el of pro­tec­tion against tam­per­ing while offer­ing trans­paren­cy into prod­uct use across its entire life­cy­cle. We’re excit­ed about this col­lab­o­ra­tion and what it means for our cus­tomers.”

“Mobius is at the fore­front of the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty indus­try, and we are excit­ed to join them as they scale renew­able ener­gy adop­tion for elec­tric flight,” said Ophir Gaathon, co-founder and CEO at DUST Iden­ti­ty.

“With oper­a­tor and pas­sen­ger safe­ty on the line, it’s essen­tial that the right data is avail­able at the right time and right place. Inac­cu­rate or unavail­able data could have major con­se­quences on safe­ty or fleet avail­abil­i­ty.”
