Why is your video so long and talks very little about the actual technology and benefits versus hype and political propaganda? I am interested but have a hard time understanding the value of the length and BS.

Hi Ronny, through consultant marketing firms they decided it was best to educate on international, political, or energy related dynamics that make our battery such an obvious future solution. We decided to try to inform people of the nature of those first and foremost because they lead to what we see as a giant wave we believe we are standing at the front of. I have taken your feedback however and we are making a revised page that makes it easier to get the clean facts about the technology an...

Product appears to be a very worthwhile endeavor. Why are you only looking at raising $300K? That is a fast burn through number for such technology.

Hi James. I believe the 300k amount you see is the early bird investor amount, we are looking to raise 2m to advance the battery cells to production and an additional million to support the rest of our operations to get us to the next stage of fundraising.

Hello James, Thanks for actually taking the time to consider my feedback and revising your materials. I love the technology and will most certainly invest! For clarity, is this investment opportunity just for the specific product or other products that may be developed with th...

Hi Ronny, we are excited to have you onboard our small team here. Thank you for your belief in us. One day I hope you'll be telling stories how you helped bring the technology in everyones home to market. We hope we will be the best option energy storage, so that is where we are focused at first.

Two questions… first question is what are the battery specs (kWh, cycles, year life, load % after 10+ years, etc…). Second question is how safe can this be? We have always been taught especially in chem classes that sodium is a very Volatile metal even more so than lithium. Ju...

One of our cell science partners envision cell level: > 550 Wh/L, >5000 cycles with a 80% capacity retained (>1 cycle / day over >10 years), up to 20 years of calendar life, keeping in mind that for stationary storage up to 60% capacity retained is the typical standard. We have not yet achieved these metrics but believe that is because we have not yet reached sufficient resources and scale. Safety is significantly improved. There is no flammable liquid electrolyte typically used i...

I don't understand at all how the purchase process works. Are the customers paying $100/month for the Next Bolt plus their usual electric bill or is it just a flat $100/month for both? I also saw that the price could scale with usage as well?

The customer would pay 100 per month for the next bolt irrespective of their energy bill.
