KULR and Worksport Forge Strategic Partnership to Advance Battery Technology and U.S. Manufacturing
February 13 2025 - 8:30AM
KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR)
(the "Company" or "KULR"), a leader in advanced energy management
platforms, and
Worksport Ltd. (Nasdaq: WKSP), a
pioneer in solar-integrated tonneau covers and portable energy
storage, have announced a strategic partnership focused on
advancing battery technology and strengthening domestic
manufacturing. The collaboration centers on three key areas: joint
battery pack development, thermal runaway protection, and
AI-integrated battery management system (BMS) software design.
Key Areas of Collaboration
- Joint Battery Pack Development: KULR and Worksport will work
together on the development of Worksport’s COR Battery Pack System.
This initiative will focus on optimizing BMS requirements, refining
cell configurations, and improving overall system performance,
safety, and reliability.
- Software (BMS + AI Integration): Both companies aim to
incorporate AI-driven software into the BMS, enabling real-time
monitoring, predictive maintenance, and advanced data analytics.
These advancements will optimize power distribution, extend battery
lifespan, and reinforce safety measures.
- Thermal Runaway Protection: The partnership will look to
integrate KULR’s patented thermal runaway protection technology
into Worksport’s battery systems. This enhancement is expected to
significantly improve battery safety and longevity by mitigating
thermal runaway risks.
KULR will utilize its KULR ONE Design Solutions (K1-DS) to
evaluate the performance, cost efficiency, and scalability of
integrated battery solutions for the Worksport COR system. With the
first generation of Worksport SOLIS and COR set for release in the
second half of 2025, these studies will guide future development
and innovation. The K1-DS platform includes advanced battery safety
testing methodologies such as Fractional Thermal Runaway
Calorimetry (FTRC), bomb calorimetry, and impingement zone mapping,
ensuring thorough cell-level characterization and safety
optimization.
Market Growth and Business
Impact
As demand for U.S.-based production
increases—fueled by the Trump administration’s emphasis on
tariffs—KULR and Worksport are exploring domestic manufacturing
options for the COR Battery Pack and related products. This
strategic move aligns with growing market preferences for
American-made energy solutions and positions both companies for
long-term scalability and expansion.
After expanding U.S. production in 2024,
Worksport’s revenue surged more than 450% from 2023 to 2024,
surpassing a monthly run rate of $1 million. Projections indicate
the company could reach nine figure revenues within the next two to
three years. This collaboration with KULR should advance
Worksport’s goal of transforming the $20 billion-plus portable
energy market through innovation and scalable manufacturing.
Through the integration of its advanced thermal
management technology and AI-powered BMS into Worksport’s products,
KULR expects to open new revenue streams and establish a
significant presence in the portable energy storage sector. The
portable energy system market is projected to reach between $21.95
billion and $24.8 billion by 2032, per a Q4 2024 report by Astute
Analytica, with an anticipated CAGR of 16% to over 24%. Battery
solutions under 3000 kWh, such as the COR, are key drivers of this
growth, particularly as off-grid and backup power needs continue to
expand.
