Electric Fuel America

What Electric Fuel America does

Electric Fuel America (EFA) is a US-based defense battery and power systems manufacturer launched in May 2026 as a wholly owned subsidiary of IGNIUM. The company designs, develops, and manufactures advanced high energy density Li-Ion batteries, chargers, and power accessories for military and defense customers, operating an NDAA-compliant production facility in Mesa, Arizona while maintaining a contact office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. EFA's product portfolio centers on Li-Ion chemistries (LiFePO4, NCA/NCM) with integrated Battery Management Systems supporting CANBus and SMBus communication, spanning six application categories: tactical batteries and chargers (300+ configurations including BB-2590/U and EN/PRC-152), military vehicle batteries (including the COMBATT 6T NATO drop-in replacement), UAS and loitering munition batteries (reaching 550 Wh/kg energy density at cell level), marine and underwater batteries, missile and projectile power systems, and LEO/CubeSat batteries engineered for 60,000 charge-discharge cycles. The company's technology base is derived from Epsilor's proven battery R&D and manufacturing processes, inherited via parent Arotech's 40+ years of combat-proven heritage with tens of thousands of batteries fielded globally.

The company sells primarily through B2B enterprise field sales into defense procurement channels, supporting RFIs, RFQs, and custom development programs with US and NATO military forces and defense OEMs. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of batteries and charging systems, supplemented by custom development services for specification-based programs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows multi-year defense procurement contracts. EFA made its public commercial debut at Xponential 2026 in Detroit (May 11-14, 2026). The company holds MIL-PRF-32565C compliance for its COMBATT 6T family and operates across all defense domains—land, sea, air, and space—serving US Military, NATO forces, allied forces across 50+ countries on 5 continents, and international UAS manufacturers. David Weston serves as President.
