Sparkz Energy – Powering the Future with American-Made Batteries
Sparkz Energy – Powering the Future with American-Made Batteries
Overview
Sparkz Energy is leading the charge to localize battery production in the U.S. with its patented cobalt-free, nickel-free LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery materials. With major facilities in California and West Virginia and exclusive technology developed at national labs, Sparkz is eliminating America’s dependency on foreign battery supply chains while creating clean energy jobs at home.
The Problem
Today, the U.S. relies almost entirely on foreign sources—primarily China—for key battery components, especially cathode materials. This dependence threatens supply chain stability, drives up costs, and undermines national energy security.
The Sparkz Solution
Sparkz has developed FeCAM™, a breakthrough cathode material that is cobalt- and nickel-free, making it safer, more sustainable, and more cost-effective. The company has vertically integrated operations, proprietary processes, and a clear path to domestic LFP production at scale.
Key Highlights
Tech Advantage: Cobalt- and nickel-free cathode with comparable performance and lower cost
Government Support: Over $22 million in DOE and IRS grants, with strong bipartisan backing
Strategic Locations: Active pilot production in California and industrial expansion in West Virginia
Union Partnerships: Formal labor alliances with UMWA and UAW to support clean energy workforce development
Proven Leadership: Founded by Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra, former head of the DOE’s Energy Investor Center
Market Opportunity
Global demand for LFP batteries is expected to grow 25%+ annually, driven by EVs, grid storage, and electrified fleets. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides strong tax credits and incentives for domestically manufactured battery components—amplifying the opportunity for Sparkz.
Why It Matters
Sparkz isn’t just building batteries—it’s restoring American manufacturing, creating high-quality union jobs, and securing the nation’s clean energy future.
