Home Thermal Energy Storage

Harvest Thermal makes a smart home heating and cooling system that stores thermal energy during cheap overnight hours and uses it during the day, cutting bills and carbon.

About

Harvest Thermal is a home energy technology company founded in 2019 that makes the Pod, a smart thermal storage system that replaces or augments conventional water heaters and home heating equipment. The Pod stores thermal energy during cheap overnight electricity hours by heating or chilling a water tank, then uses that stored energy for home heating, cooling, and hot water throughout the day, reducing reliance on expensive peak-time electricity. The system integrates with time-of-use electricity rates and renewable energy programs to automatically optimize when it charges, helping homeowners minimize bills while maximizing consumption of low-carbon electricity. Harvest Thermal targets homes transitioning to heat pumps and all-electric operations, where intelligent thermal storage can dramatically reduce operating costs by avoiding expensive on-peak electricity. The company raised $18M and is working with utility partners to deploy the Pod as a grid-interactive asset that utilities can manage to reduce peak demand. Harvest Thermal represents an accessible and cost-effective path to home energy storage that complements or replaces electrochemical battery systems.

About

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational mobility conglomerate founded in 1948 by Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa in Hamamatsu, Japan. Starting as a motorcycle manufacturer, Honda expanded into automobiles, power equipment, marine engines, and aerospace, becoming one of the largest and most diversified mobility companies in the world. With over 90 million vehicles sold globally and a reputation built on engineering reliability, fuel efficiency, and innovation, Honda operates manufacturing facilities across more than 30 countries on six continents.\n\nHonda's automotive lineup ranges from mass-market sedans and SUVs — including the best-selling Civic and CR-V — to trucks, minivans, and the premium Acura brand. The company is executing a major pivot to electrification through the Honda 0 Series, a new EV architecture designed from the ground up for battery-electric vehicles launching in 2026. Honda's partnership with General Motors on battery technology, combined with its investment in solid-state battery development, reflects a multi-path electrification strategy designed to hedge technology risk while building scale.\n\nHonda reported FY2025 revenue of JPY 21.7 trillion, a 6.2% year-over-year increase, driven by strong North American demand and favorable currency tailwinds. The company faces intensifying competition from Chinese EV manufacturers in Asia and is exploring a potential merger with Nissan as part of broader Japanese automotive consolidation. Honda's engineering culture, global manufacturing scale, and brand credibility in reliability position it as a resilient and well-capitalized incumbent navigating the EV transition.
