SES AI Corporation (NYSE:SES), headquartered in Boston, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of high-performance lithium-metal (Li-Metal) rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications, today announced its business and financial results for the third-quarter ended September 30, 2022.

The company posted a letter to shareholders on its Investor Relations website from Founder and CEO Dr. Qichao Hu, and Chief Financial Officer, Jing Nealis, that provides a business update and details its third-quarter financial results.

"As a leader in Li-Metal battery cell development, our organization continues to evolve and innovate in order to meet all the challenges that come with manufacturing large format cells," said Founder and CEO, Qichao Hu. "As a result of real-world experiences with large cells, we have started to take a fresh look at our supply chain and procurement strategies and have decided to take certain operations in-house to improve quality. If you don't control the entire supply chain, it will be difficult to meet the full-blown specs from OEMs for A and B Samples."
