JB Straubel on why the race for more power is changing the grid
JB Straubel joined Axios at NY Climate week to talk about the energy moment we're in. Growing the net energy base while strengthening energy security is exactly why we built Redwood Energy. We're turning EV batteries into storage, backed by our own power electronics that let us bring mixed packs together into one system.
Why this matters for talent
JB Straubel positioning Redwood Energy as a way to turn used EV batteries into grid storage faster than building new capacity signals the company is actively scaling a second business line beyond battery recycling. That kind of expansion typically means hiring across power electronics, grid integration, and energy systems engineering, not just materials recovery. Redwood Materials has 124 open roles on the board for candidates who want to work on either side of that battery-to-grid pipeline.
