// About

Energy researcher.
Grid builder.

Anurag Kamal is a mechanical engineer and battery researcher who spent years deep inside lithium-ion electrochemistry — at Michigan Technological University, BMW's Technology Office, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. That decade of hands-on research became the technical foundation for what he's building today.

As CEO and co-founder of ElectricFish Energy Inc., Anurag is tackling one of the most urgent infrastructure challenges of our time: an aging electrical grid being asked to power a world it was never designed for.

His answer is the ElectricFish 350² — a single, unified hardware node combining 350kW fast EV charging, 400kWh battery storage, and agentic AI energy management. Plug-and-play, deployed in days for a fraction of the traditional cost.

Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 and Business Insider's 35 Under 35 in EVs, Anurag holds a Master's in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Tech and previously led powertrain development at Volvo-Eicher Commercial Vehicles.

"What if we stopped asking the grid to do all the heavy lifting?"
The Manifesto

In late 2019, Anurag sat in a hackathon with two strangers staring at a whiteboard covered in equations and frustration. They knew the technology was ready. They knew the demand was there. Everywhere they looked, the same bottleneck kept appearing: the grid.

People Say

Words from people who know the work

The words of professors, investors, colleagues, and industry leaders who worked directly alongside Anurag — from the lab bench at Michigan Tech, to the battery cells at BMW, to the early mornings of building ElectricFish from nothing.

In the span of six months, Mr. Kamal beat existing benchmarks for computational requirements and accuracy of thermal predictions. His code was more efficient to run on the vehicle's onboard computer than the existing model, and received high praise from BMW battery modeling experts and several department leaders.

I was deeply impressed that Anurag chose to research battery degradation given that he didn't have a formal background in mathematics or chemistry. I found it extraordinary — and a testament to his substantial abilities — that he was able to make original contributions to the field in this short span of time.

VECV reached 100k kms in validation runs within two years — almost a year ahead of schedule. Anurag put new processes in place, negotiated with suppliers, and built a project management pipeline that avoided almost all surprise delays. Star employee for three of five months.

Within two months, he quit his job, packed his bags, and moved back to California from Tennessee to become a full-time entrepreneur. By February he had secured a space and built the first prototype from repurposed Tesla Model S battery modules. That simple proof of concept enabled ElectricFish to raise the capital for the full-scale build they are doing now. We need more entrepreneurs like Anurag who are willing to take risks to deliver innovative technology that will revolutionize entire industries.
