In a groundbreaking move toward advancing clean energy solutions, Our Next Energy (ONE), a burgeoning startup founded by Pakistani-American innovator Mujeeb Ijaz, has secured a substantial $25 million initial investment from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, led by philanthropist Bill Gates, and renowned German automaker BMW. ONE’s visionary approach to battery technology has propelled it to the forefront of the clean energy revolution.

Mujeeb Ijaz’s pioneering work focuses on optimizing lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, renowned for their stability, to achieve extended electric vehicle ranges. The breakthrough was recently exemplified when a Tesla Model S covered an impressive 752 miles on a single charge, signaling a promising shift in sustainable transportation. The strategic investment comes as ONE secures its first customer, an EV startup specializing in medium-duty delivery trucks, with production set to commence later this year.
Adding to the global automotive innovation narrative, Sajjad Khan, a Pakistani-German trailblazer, is orchestrating Mercedes-Benz’s foray into the electric vehicle market. With plans for six new all-electric “EQ” models, Khan’s strategic vision mirrors the transformative power of global collaboration in shaping a sustainable future.
