A startup called Our Next Energy (ONE), founded by Mujeeb Ijaz, a Pakistani-American innovator, has received a significant investment of $25 million. The investment comes from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, led by Bill Gates, and BMW, a famous German automaker. ONE focuses on developing better battery technology for clean energy solutions.
Mujeeb Ijaz’s work centers on improving lithium-iron-phosphate batteries to increase the range of electric vehicles. Recently, a Tesla Model S using their battery technology covered an impressive 752 miles on a single charge, showing great potential for sustainable transportation.
ONE has also secured its first customer, an electric vehicle startup, and plans to start production later this year.
In another example of Pakistani talent making a mark in the automotive world, Sajjad Khan, a Pakistani-German innovator, is leading Mercedes-Benz’s entry into the electric vehicle market. He is working on six new all-electric “EQ” models. This shows the global impact of Pakistani talent in shaping a sustainable future in the automotive industry.
As electric vehicles gain popularity, these visionary figures demonstrate the shift towards cleaner and advanced transportation solutions. They are revolutionizing the automotive industry and leading the way towards a greener future.
