Re-engineer your supply chain and unlock U.S. tax credits with cost effective industry quality FeCAM™.

How will you engineer and produce a $25,000 EV?

Lower Cost

FeCAM™ is produced domestically, dramatically driving down the cost of LFP batteries.

Fast Charging

FeCAM™ is engineered to keep drivers on the road by fully charging in 15 minutes thus eliminating range anxiety issues.

Safety

FeCAM's™ robust chemistry ensures that LFP batteries are less susceptible to thermal runoff and are more tolerant of a wider operating temperature thus providing a safer alternative for multiple applications.

Secure Supply Chain

FeCAM™ is entirely sourced in the United States eliminating supply chain disruptions and promising United States industry quality.

Tax Credit

FeCAM™ is produced domestically, batteries incorporating it are eligible for federal tax incentives, offering substantial cost savings due to the cathode material accounting for 40% of the overall battery price.

Founder & CEO

Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra

Dr. Sanjiv Malhotra is the founder and CEO of Sparkz—the battery start-up reinventing the energy supply chain.

 

Malhotra has been a leader in the energy sector for nearly three decades as a founder, investor and executive. Most recently, he served as the inaugural director for the Energy Investor Center at the U.S Department of Energy (DOE), serving under both Democratic and Republican administrations.

 

At DOE, Malhotra led the Obama Administration’s initiative to boost public-private partnerships to accelerate the commercialization of technologies developed in national research centers like Oak Ridge National Labs.

 

Malhotra was recruited to the Department of Energy after a successful exit of Oorja Protonics—the world leader in methanol fuel cells—which he founded and led as CEO for 10 years. Oorja raised $50 Million in equity financing from leading VCs such as Sequoia, DAG Ventures, Artis Capital and others during his tenure. He boosted Oorja’s revenue and profitability growth, while expanding operations globally in Japan, China, South Africa, Mexico, and India.

 

Oorja was acquired in 2014 by the Private Equity firm MinXing Growth Fund.

 

As an investor and consultant, Malhotra has worked at leading venture capital firms, including Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers as an advisor on clean energy and advanced materials.

 

Earlier in his career, Malhotra led the engineering and product development team at H Power, a pioneer in hydrogen fuel cells. As part of the management team, he managed the successful IPO, which raised more than $100 million in August 2000.

 

He began his career as a post-doctoral fellow at the renowned Lawrence Berkeley National Labs on electrochemical storage systems. Dr. Malhotra has authored seven patents and more than 40 publications in various fields of energy storage technology and materials. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering and an M.B.A from University of Iowa.
