About

C-Motive Technologies is a venture-backed cleantech startup that creates sustainable and highly efficient motor technology. Over 50% of the world’s electricity is consumed by electromagnetic motors that are only about 60% efficient when integrated into real applications. A large percentage of a traditional motor is made from copper, and the highest-performance machines rely on rare-earth magnets that are almost entirely sourced from one country overseas. C-Motive’s electrostatic motor technology is over 90% efficient, contains no rare-earth magnets or electrical steel, and uses 90% less copper than traditional electric machines. By using fundamentally different physics, C-Motive is able to change the expectations that people have for their motors and deliver an all-in-one system that is free from add-ons like gearboxes and active cooling.
