  • Summary

  • Dr. Isobel Sheldon OBE, a self-taught pioneer in battery technology, has dedicated her career to advancing sustainable transportation and cleaner air. Driven by childhood asthma and a fascination with electric vehicles, she broke into battery engineering without a traditional Ph.D., instead receiving an honorary doctorate recognising her lifelong contributions. Her journey spans early plug-in hybrids to today’s cutting-edge EV batteries, where she pushes for efficiency, supply chain resilience, and public understanding. Reflecting on setbacks like Britishvolt’s collapse, Isobel remains committed to decentralising the battery industry, advocating that true progress demands both innovation and a shared commitment to sustainability.
