Impulse showcases the future of high-performance appliances and announces plans to deploy its battery-integrated power electronics platform through strategic industry partnerships.
Impulse, the innovator behind the world’s first high-performance battery-integrated cooktop, is expanding its vision with a strategic partnership with THOR Kitchen.
Impulse’s award-winning technology platform, foundational to the Impulse Cooktop, integrates advanced battery packs, custom inverters, and first-of-a-kind temperature sensor to offer:
- Unparalleled Power: Delivers up to 10kW per heating element for exceptional cooking performance.
- Precision Temperature Control: Achieves degree-level precision, ensuring optimal cooking results.
- Effortless Installation: Adapts to standard 120V or 240V circuits for straightforward setup.
- Global Compatibility: Meets a variety of international electrical standards, enabling worldwide use.
- Resilient Energy Management: Maintains functionality during power outages, enhancing home energy security.
“Impulse is evolving beyond cooktops to energize the entire appliance industry,” said Sam D’Amico, CEO of Impulse. “Our latest innovation offers a modular approach that allows other brands to revolutionize their products, enhancing energy efficiency and performance across a wide array of appliances.”
Impulse’s plan to deploy its battery technology through strategic industry partnerships includes significantly expanding the scope and impact of its offerings:
- Broad Application Potential: The technology’s flexibility heralds a new era of smart, energy-efficient household and commercial environments globally.
- Superior Energy Management: By integrating this technology, appliances become dual-purpose—both fulfilling their conventional roles and enhancing grid stability and energy independence.
- Scalable Impact: Impulse aims to set new standards for the appliance industry, encouraging widespread adoption of sustainable practices through easily integrated technology.
The market for battery-integrated appliances is rapidly expanding, driven by growth in smart home technology, energy efficiency, and renewable energy adoption. Industry forecasts predict the global smart kitchen appliance market will reach $91.5 billion by 2030, with an annual installation of 54 million units in the U.S. alone. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Energy highlights a critical need for a fivefold increase in distributed energy resources, such as home batteries, by 2030. As more households seek to enhance energy efficiency and achieve grid independence, the demand for innovative solutions like Impulse’s technology is set to surge.
“The potential for this technology to transform the appliance industry is immense, akin to the impact of electric vehicles in the automotive sector,” said Lyn Stoler, Climate and Policy Lead at Impulse Labs. “We envision a future where every appliance not only serves its primary function but also plays a crucial role in a holistic energy system.”
