TaiSan sodium-ion battery
Sodium · Polymer Electrolyte

Engineered for
the fleet.

TaiSan builds next-generation sodium batteries around a novel polymer electrolyte — making cells smaller, lighter, cheaper and inherently safer than today's lithium-ion.

Why we exist
TaiSan team in the Cambridge lab

Lithium is dangerous, expensive, unsustainable.First-generation sodium cells are too heavy and too large to replace it.Our solid-state electrolyte fixes both.

The result is a sodium cell with the energy density of premium lithium-ion, the safety of a solid state architecture, and a bill of materials made entirely from earth-abundant elements.

The three problems we solve

lighter & compact

Our polymer chemistry strips out heavy liquid electrolyte and inactive packaging — fitting 20–30% more energy into the same pack volume.

drop-in for existing fleets

Standard form factors that swap straight into e-bikes and scooters built around lithium-ion or lead-acid — no chassis change.

safe by chemistry

No flammable solvent. Stable from −40 °C to +80 °C. Designed around the failure modes that ground fleets and burn warehouses.

Where it goes

Built for the segment that lithium hurts most.

E-bikes & shared mobility

Swappable packs from 0.25 to 1.5 kWh for urban and trekking e-bikes.

E-scooters & mopeds

0.5–2 kWh modules engineered for shared-fleet swap rhythms.

Power tools & light vehicles

High-discharge cells for the tools and small EVs lithium can't be insured into.
