Science-born.
Industry built.
Europe-anchored.
Basquevolt was spun out of CIC energiGUNE in 2022 to bring 10+ years of world-class Li-Metal battery research to industrial scale. We combine the deepest electrochemistry expertise in Europe with senior automotive execution capability.
A track record
of industrial excellence
From research centre to Europe's leading Li-Metal battery company in under 4 years, the fastest time-to-sample in the industry.
Basquevolt is founded as a spin-off of CIC Energigune, backed by CIE Automotive, Iberdrola, Enagás, Inno, Basque Government and CDTI Innvierte.
Our R&D facilities open in Vitoria-Gasteiz, laying the foundation for end-to-end development, from lab to pilot plant.
We reach 20Ah cell readiness and sign our first Joint Development Agreement, marking our transition from research to industrial collaboration.
Basquevolt is awarded the EIC Accelerator with a perfect score and assembles its first 20Ah pre-A sample cell, a key technical milestone.
Stellum Capital, Ekarpen, Fundación Bancaria Vital and Axon Partners join Basquevolt's Series A financing round.
We announce a strategic collaboration with Renault Group, reinforcing our path towards industrial-scale deployment.
We launch the BQV400L, our first standardized product, a defining step in bringing our technology closer to the market.
Built on world-class
electrochemistry
One of Europe's premier energy storage research centres. Basquevolt was born from 15+ years of Li-Metal battery R&D there, including world-leading expertise in polymer electrolytes, lithium-metal anodes and cell architecture. Ongoing collaboration on next-generation developments.
Pioneer of polymer electrolytes and lithium-metal battery chemistry. His foundational work underpins Basquevolt's proprietary hybrid-polymer electrolyte. Recognised globally as the scientist who made Li-Metal batteries a commercial reality, and a key scientific advisor to Basquevolt since inception.

ESG overview
Sustainability is embedded in Basquevolt's mission and technology. As we continue growing from an innovative company into an industrial leader in lithium-metal battery technology, we are committed to strengthening our environmental, social and governance practices at every step, ensuring our progress is as responsible as it is ambitious. Our ESG commitments reflect both the direct impact of our operations and the broader implications of the technology we are bringing to market. As the Company scales from prototype to industrial production, ESG practices are being developed and formalised in parallel with our technology, ensuring responsible growth at every stage.
Creating sustainable solutions is at the core of everything we do. Our commitment goes beyond the technologies we develop, we work to minimize the environmental footprint of every stage of our activity.
Our technology is engineered to reduce environmental impact from the ground up: higher energy density, longer battery life, and simpler, less resource-intensive manufacturing compared to conventional lithium-ion technology. We are conducting a full assessment of our product's environmental impact to continuously improve these benefits.
We are working to reduce our energy footprint and are introducing renewable energy into our operations as we scale from prototype to industrial production, embedding efficiency into every phase of our growth.
Basquevolt fosters a diverse and highly skilled team, across +19 nationalities, backgrounds and gender, supported by policies that promote equality, inclusion and professional development. We hold ourselves to high standards of health and safety, and we continue to reinforce our culture of transparency and respect across the organisation.
At Basquevolt, we are fully committed to maintaining high standards in health, safety, and quality across all our operations. Our HSE and Quality Policy is available to stakeholders upon request. Please contact us if you would like to receive a copy.
