As batteries become central to everything from electric vehicles to grid storage and personal devices, fire safety can no longer be an afterthought,

“We’re proud to be recognized by Fast Company for our work to make batteries fundamentally safer. With Impervio, we’ve developed a game-changing technology that proactively helps prevent catastrophic failures for safer, more reliable clean energy. It’s innovations and ideas like these that move us closer to a truly sustainable and secure energy future.”
