Morand eTechnology: Ultra-Fast Hybrid Batteries for European Strategic Autonomy
Morand eTechnology is a Swiss deep-tech startup advancing electric energy storage for rapid charging. Founded by veteran motorsport engineers, the company has developed an ultracapacitor–battery hybrid that can recharge a small electric vehicle to ~80% in roughly 72 seconds[1]. In tests the eTechnology pack demonstrated exceptional durability (tens of thousands of charge cycles) and uses primarily aluminium/graphene materials, significantly reducing reliance on lithium and cobalt[2]. This combination of high power and longevity has led analysts to highlight Morand’s potential for applications ranging from urban EVs to logistics drones and robotics[3][4]. Morand’s innovation directly addresses European concerns about battery supply chains (China produces ~65–80% of global battery cells)[2], aligning it with EU industrial strategies on battery sovereignty. These features make Morand a provocative case for European defense planners: an independent energy technology that could enhance mobility and resilience. In the following paid report we analyze Morand’s strategic-technology profile in detail, assessing its contributions to EU strategic autonomy, NATO interoperability, and supply-chain resilience.
