What Nyobolt does

Nyobolt is a Cambridge-headquartered battery technology company that designs and develops high-power, ultra-fast-charging lithium-ion systems based on proprietary niobium tungsten oxide (NWO) anode materials licensed from over a decade of University of Cambridge research. The company is structured as Nyobolt Limited (private, England and Wales) with approximately 120 employees distributed across the UK (Cambridge HQ and Haverhill anode pilot facility), the US (Bedford cell prototyping), Germany (Bad Duerkheim sales, via Nyobolt GmbH), and Japan (Tokyo sales and business development). Its vertically integrated power stack combines the proprietary NWO anode chemistry, low-impedance cell architecture, advanced battery management software, and integrated power electronics to deliver sub-5-minute charging to 80% state-of-charge alongside 10,000+ cycle life — a performance envelope positioned as unachievable with conventional lithium-ion chemistries.

The product portfolio centers on two cell families, Nyobolt Ultra (6–10 minute charging, high energy density) and Nyobolt Xtreme (1–5 minute charging, 20,000+ cycle life for grid-scale rapid cycling), plus the Dynamic Response System (DRS) for AI data center peak shaving and battery backup in a 1OU OCP Open Rack V3 form factor with sub-1ms transient response. Application-specific offerings include battery systems for warehouse AMRs and humanoids (with Symbotic as a design-in partner), commercial vehicles (buses, trucks, port and mining equipment), grid frequency response, and the Bolt-ee mobile 300kW DC supercharger. Manufacturing is outsourced to established partners, with materials piloted in-house at Haverhill and cells prototyped at Bedford.

Nyobolt operates a direct enterprise sales motion targeting industries where charging downtime is operationally or economically prohibitive. It reports over $150M in contract value, fivefold year-on-year revenue growth in 2026, and a $1B post-money valuation following a $60M Series C led by Symbotic. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified for battery cell manufacture and has secured approximately $160M in cumulative equity and grant funding across rounds led by IQ Capital, H.C. Starck, Latitude, and Symbotic, with strategic investors including Scania Invest, CBMM, and Talga. Customer concentration is anchored on a small number of large enterprise and government relationships, and international expansion is underway with a 100MW+ AI data center MoU with the State of Rajasthan, India.

Core offering

Nyobolt designs, develops and sells high-power, ultra-fast-charging lithium-ion battery systems based on proprietary niobium tungsten oxide (NWO) anode materials. The company delivers battery cells, modules, packs, and vertically integrated power solutions for AI data centers, warehouse robotics, commercial vehicles, mining equipment, and grid-scale energy storage applications. Manufacturing is outsourced to established partners while Nyobolt retains control over proprietary chemistry, cell design, power electronics and battery management systems.

Product overview

Nyobolt offers a vertically integrated ultra-fast charging battery technology platform featuring proprietary niobium tungsten oxide anode materials, advanced cell design, and integrated power electronics. The product portfolio centers on two core battery lines: Nyobolt Ultra (6-10 minute charging with high energy density) and Nyobolt Xtreme (1-5 minute charging with maximum cycle life up to 20,000+ cycles). Supporting these are application-specific solutions including the Dynamic Response System for AI data centers, SymBot battery integration for warehouse robotics, Bolt-ee mobile supercharger, and batteries for commercial vehicles, grid energy storage, and mining operations. The company also demonstrated its technology through an EV prototype capable of 6-minute full charge. Founded in 2019, Nyobolt's technology enables mission-critical uptime across AI infrastructure, robotics, mobility, and industrial applications.
