Most of the world's rare earth supply runs through China. We decided to build motors that don't. Modal Motors makes electric motors and generators two ways: designs that use no rare earths at all, and designs that use rare earths sourced here in the U.S. Both run on a 100% domestic supply chain. Both are engineered to beat Chinese rare-earth motors on performance while holding the lowest cost of goods sold in their class. That combination is hard to pull off, and prototyping is where most of it gets decided. The Make it in Michigan Prototyping Grant Program and the team at the Centrepolis Accelerator helped us close the gap between a working concept and a commercial product. Grateful to @CentrepolisXLR8, @MEDC, @michiganofme, and @MichiganDefense for putting real support behind hardware at the hardest stage to fund. Michigan knows how to build things. We're glad to be building here. 📽️ @RobinSchwartzPR #MakeitinMichigan #Manufacturing #ModalMotors #Electrification #SupplyChain #MichiganInnovation #Prototyping #AmericanMade #ElectricMotors
