HPQ CEO Discusses Industrial Shipments of GEN3-Based HPQ ENDURA+ Battery Cells

by Team HPQ

In this interview, HPQ Chairman and CEO Bernard Tourillon shares key updates following a major milestone: the shipment of HPQ’s first industrial batches of lithium-ion battery cells using its GEN3 silicon-based anode material.

✅ Initial 18650 and 21700 battery cells—delivering up to 6,000 mAh and 1,000 charge cycles—have been manufactured and shipped to Montreal
✅ Large-scale battery manufacturing partner enables seamless scaling, with no new infrastructure required
✅ Finalized spec sheets are now available to prospective customers for direct validation

By watching the interview, you’ll gain insight into:

➡️ Why this shipment signals HPQ’s move from lab-scale innovation to pre-commercial deployment
➡️ How HPQ plans to monetize the battery vertical and target high-value demand across mobility, defense, and electronics sectors
➡️ The financial logic behind subcontracted production and how it accelerates time-to-market
➡️ What’s next for GEN3 material integration in North American manufacturing and how HPQ is preparing to scale output

With cylindrical cell demand projected to hit over USD $45 billion by 2033, HPQ’s entry into the industrial shipment phase puts it in a strong position to capture early market value—especially with a silicon-based solution that outperforms many standard lithium-ion offerings on energy density and cycle life.

From R&D to real-world use cases, this marks a pivotal moment for HPQ ENDURA+.
