Nyobolt Raises $60M in Series C Funding, at $1B Valuation

May 7, 2026 | By Startuprise io

Nyobolt, a Cambridge, UK-based fast-charging energy technology company, has raised $60 million in a funding round led by Symbotic, with participation from IQ Capital, Latitude, Scania Invest, and CBMM.

The company plans to use the funding to grow its operations and continue developing its products and services.

The funding comes after a period of strong growth, with Nyobolt’s revenue increasing five times year-over-year due to rising demand from AI applications and AI data center infrastructure.

The investment comes at an important time, as autonomous machines are expanding from factories into warehouses, hospitals and city streets, creating energy demands that traditional batteries cannot meet. At the same time, AI data centers are facing growing power needs that older backup power systems were not designed to handle. Nyobolt’s ultra fast charging technology is designed for these high demand environments where reliability, and performance are critical.

Nyobolt is seeing strong demand from advanced autonomous robotics projects worldwide. Its battery technology powers Symbotic’s SymBot™ robots with six times the energy capacity of the ultracapacitors used before, while being 40% lighter and lasting at least 10 times longer than traditional lithium-ion batteries. This helps the robots operate continuously in busy warehouses 24/7.

The growth of physical AI, robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), industrial automation and AI powered machines is creating major energy challenges. These systems operate in fast changing environments and require more power than traditional batteries were designed to deliver.

Nyobolt’s technology solves many of these battery limitations, helping autonomous systems deliver the reliable, always-on performance needed for the next generation of physical AI applications.

Nyobolt is expanding into India through an agreement with the state of Rajasthan to develop more than 100MW of off-grid AI data centers and power infrastructure. The partnership in Rajasthan is expected to be the first step in a larger expansion across India, with a focus on renewable energy and independent energy storage systems.
