"Impulse is evolving beyond cooktops to energize the entire appliance industry," said Sam D'Amico, CEO of Impulse. "Our latest innovation offers a modular approach that allows other brands to revolutionize their products, enhancing energy efficiency and performance across a wide array of appliances."
This modular technology enables seamless integration into various residential and commercial appliances, starting with THOR Kitchen. THOR’s adoption of this proprietary electronics platform is just the first in a series of strategic partnerships for Impulse, redefining energy use in appliances, making them not only tools of convenience but also key players in energy management systems.
"THOR is always at the forefront of kitchen innovation, and featuring Impulse’s technology at KBIS 2025 demonstrates our commitment to exploring transformative energy solutions,” said Kyle You, Managing Director at THOR. “Impulse’s battery-integrated Cooktop represents a leap forward in making home appliances not only tools, but also essential components to a holistic energy system.”
The showcase at KBIS marks the beginning of Impulse’s plan to deploy its battery technology through strategic industry partnerships, significantly expanding the scope and impact of its offerings:
- Broad Application Potential: The technology's flexibility heralds a new era of smart, energy-efficient household and commercial environments globally.
- Superior Energy Management: By integrating this technology, appliances become dual-purpose—both fulfilling their conventional roles and enhancing grid stability and energy independence.
- Scalable Impact: Impulse aims to set new standards for the appliance industry, encouraging widespread adoption of sustainable practices through easily integrated technology.
The market for battery-integrated appliances is rapidly expanding, driven by growth in smart home technology, energy efficiency, and renewable energy adoption. Industry forecasts predict the global smart kitchen appliance market will reach $91.5 billion by 2030, with an annual installation of 54 million units in the U.S. alone. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Energy highlights a critical need for a fivefold increase in distributed energy resources, such as home batteries, by 2030. As more households seek to enhance energy efficiency and achieve grid independence, the demand for innovative solutions like Impulse's technology is set to surge.
"The potential for this technology to transform the appliance industry is immense, akin to the impact of electric vehicles in the automotive sector," said Lyn Stoler, Climate and Policy Lead at Impulse Labs. "We envision a future where every appliance not only serves its primary function but also plays a crucial role in a holistic energy system."
