If you’ve ever gripped the steering wheel a little tighter watching your EV battery inch toward zero, you’re not alone. Range anxiety is real. But a Michigan-based startup just pulled off a headline-making, industry-shaking, game-changing moment that could officially put that fear to rest.
Meet Our Next Energy—or ONE for short. According to a recent Forbes report, this small but mighty company just powered a BMW iX over 745 miles on a single charge. Yes, you read that right. Seven hundred. Forty. Five. Miles.
It’s called Gemini, and it’s no ordinary battery. Unlike what’s in most EVs today, this tech uses two different types of battery cells—one for big, long-distance energy storage and one for high-power delivery when you need that extra kick. Translation: You get serious range without sacrificing performance.
And if that’s not enough to make gas station owners nervous, ONE says their tech could soon cut charging time to under 10 minutes. That’s grab-a-snack-and-go timing, people.
This breakthrough doesn’t just mean fewer pit stops. It means less pressure on public charging stations, fewer materials needed for battery production, and more people willing to make the EV switch. Longer range = fewer excuses. And that’s a win for drivers and the planet.
Plus, better battery efficiency means fewer raw materials mined, less waste created, and a cleaner EV life cycle overall. We’re talking fewer emissions from start to finish.
Deep breath. It’s not on the lot just yet. ONE’s tech is still in the prototype and scaling phase, which means you’ll have to wait a little longer to see it in your next EV. But the fact that it’s working in real cars—not just in the lab—is a huge step toward mainstream adoption.
Experts are already calling it the “holy grail” of electric driving. We call it the future we’ve all been waiting for.
If ONE delivers on this promise, it could completely reshape the EV market.
Less range anxiety. More adoption. Bigger environmental wins.
And you can bet we’ll be the first to let you know when it officially hits the road.
