Boston-Power Founder Christina Lampe-Önnerud and Ann Marie Sastry, CEO of Sakti3 tell WSJ’s Joe White at Wall Street Journal Economics how their companies are working to listen to global customer needs to help create more efficient systems and next generation battery technology.

Christina wants to solve the problem of transport and the impact of transport. She's sat down with auto innovators and looked at what society needs to look like 20 years from now. As a result, they see Price, Range, and Lifetime as parameters, then designed mobility of people.

Ann Marie is looking at the key question of what's needed in an automobile to meet consumers needs. She says with the productization of electric and hybrid vehicles, a range of 100-200-300 miles is suitable but the cost is not reasonable. As a result, battery cell technology evolution is important.
