Basquevolt reinforces its leadership strategy in solid-state battery electrolyte

  • The company prioritises its positioning as a reference electrolyte supplier in Europe, with strategic agreements with car and cell manufacturers.
  • Pablo Fernández Santos leads this strategy as CEO, with a clear commitment to technology “Made in the Basque Country”, after securing a 10.5 million euro equity injection from Ekarpen, Stellum and CDTI Innvierte.


Basquevolt reinforces its roadmap: focus on electrolyte as key industrial driver
Basquevolt´s Board of Directors has approved to focus the company´s activity on the development and supply of electrolyte for solid-state batteries, an essential component in the next generation of energy storage.
The company will work closely with automotive OEMs and cell producers to offer this technology to multiple sectors: automotive, stationary storage, light mobility and aerospace applications.
This strategy reinforces Basquevolt´s ambition to become a benchmark supplier in Europe, and comes after recently securing a 10.5 million euro equity injection backed by Ekarpen, Stellum and CDTI Innvierte. This funding will speed up the roll-out of the industrial plan and consolidate the company´s position in a highly competitive market.
The company plans to start industrialising and selling its electrolyte in 2027, relying on its own technology and its network of strategic alliances.

A disruptive, adaptable and safe electrolyte
The electrolyte developed by Basquevolt enables a 50%+ increase in energy density compared to current batteries. This translates into electric vehicles with a 50%+ additional range, with no increase in battery size or weight. In addition, the technology solves critical safety issues, which would enable vehicles such as scooters to be reintroduced into public transport.
The electrolyte has been designed to be integrated into existing cell production lines in Europe, making it possible for it to be adopted industrially without the need for major additional investment.

Pablo Fernández Santos leads the new stage
This strategy, focused on the development and supply of electrolyte, will be led by Pablo Fernández Santos, who took over as CEO of Basquevolt in March 2025. With a strong background in the automotive industry and a deep technological knowledge, Fernández Santos has played a key role in the founding of the company as Chief Technology Officer.
His leadership reinforces Basquevolt´s commitment to “Made in the Basque Country” technology and its alignment with the technical and industrial challenges facing Basquevolt in the next phase of its growth.

Technology Made in Basque Country for the world
Basquevolt maintains its commitment to the development of proprietary technology conceived in the Basque Country, with global impact. Its approach combines scientific excellence, industrial scalability and public-private collaboration, positioning the company as a European benchmark in solid-state batteries.
The company will continue to strengthen its network of industrial and technology partners, driving strategic agreements to take its disruptive electrolyte from the lab to production by 2027. In a complementary manner, cells using this electrolyte as a technological base will be developed within the framework of key projects that will allow progress in the integration and validation of this solution in real applications.
