RENO, Nev., Sept. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp.

“By joining the BMTC and partnering with the coalition’s other industry leaders during this rapidly growing global battery economy, we continue to drive meaningful conversations and make significant contributions toward the evolution of the energy storage sector,” said Dominic Sinnott, director of government affairs at Dragonfly Energy. “We are proud to become a member of this remarkable coalition dedicated to solidifying North America’s critical role in the global battery ecosystem.”

Membership in the BMTC aligns with Dragonfly Energy’s vision of providing revolutionary solutions to the battery industry and further positioning Nevada as the lithium capital of North America.
