Last month, Energy-Storage.news reported that Volta Energy formed a partnership with KULR Technology Group, a maker of patented carbon fibre thermal management technologies which can act as a shield against thermal runaway in batteries.

It has two main brands: Green Machine, which makes electric battery-powered construction equipment, and Volta Energy, which makes scalable lithium-ion battery packs for distributed energy storage configurable from 50kWh to 5MW. Occupying part of a large industrial campus that was built in 1923 by GM, the company was founded in 2009 and a year later unveiled its first all-electric excavator powered by batteries, thought to be the first of its kind in the world.
