ATLIS is revolutionizing battery technology from the ground up and developing the AMV cell entirely in-house, reimagining what a work vehicle powered by their AMV technology should look like with the XT pickup truck. He started ATLIS in his garage in 2017 after a career in product development for law enforcement at Axon where he started as an engineer, working his way up to run their R&D group.
