Evari turns to rocket science to solve problems with heat pumps


The startup emerged from stealth with a goal of extending the range of EVs while also eliminating fossil fuels from home heating.

Most of those places still rely on natural gas or heating oil, and convincing people to switch will require a drop-in solution that’s cheaper to run than their existing furnace or boiler and works at extreme temperatures. Walker funded the early stages of development out of pocket, tapping a modest windfall he earned from the sale of a previous startup he founded that turned waste wood into fuel. By trading materials costs for some additional manufacturing expenses, Evari’s material-light approach is well positioned to insulate the company from the growing geopolitical tensions forming over critical minerals.
