Ray Kubis
Bio
Ray has lead different battery companies across the last 40+ years, and half of those based here in Europe, leading the development of EnerSys.
He has also worked with the market leader in automotive batteries and aided in startups in China and now leads as Chairman Gridtential Energy Inc. Gridtential has progressed as the leading player in development of bi-pole battery architecture combined with lead electro-chemistry, and in their case using treated Silicon Wafers.
They are now working with five companies to bring commercial product to market in 2025, prospectively on three continents.
Always an informative speaker, Ray has come to give his view on the “Battery Technology Race.”
The US and Japanese launched the critical Lithium battery developments, yet the Korean and Chinese companies have dedicated billions of investments and 10s of thousands of engineers across multiple chemistries to now lead the battery business.
The Clean Energy Transition is calling for over 4 TWhs of batteries by 2030, and the race is on by governments and companies to claim large and profitable shares of the fast growing market.
Ray will outline his view and forecast for winners by 2030 in the critical application platforms.
