DETROIT—Our Next Energy (ONE), a two-year-old Michigan startup, said on Wednesday it had tested a prototype of its new battery in a Tesla Model S, driving 752 miles before recharging.

ONE aims to begin producing battery packs that will deliver similar range—about double that of most existing electric vehicles—by late 2023, according to Mujeeb Ijaz, ONE’s founder, and chief executive.
