SES AI's moat, primarily built on its intellectual property and AI capabilities, is expanding as it secures more patents and deepens its R&D. The significant integration costs and development cycles involved for OEMs create switching costs once a partner commits. However, durability is highly contingent on successful commercialization and the ability to fend off technological advancements from well-funded competitors.
