StoreDot’s ‘100in5’ cells deliver 100 miles of range in just five minutes of charging, Polestar demos

January 16, 2024

StoreDot, a pioneer in extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology for electric vehicles, is partnering with Polestar to showcase their EV battery technology.

Together the companies will demonstrate the application of XFC battery cell technology to an existing platform, and to envision what a production-level solution could look like.

StoreDot’s ‘100in5’ cells deliver 100 miles of range in just five minutes of charging with no battery degradation. The company has already unveiled its ‘100inX’ strategic technology roadmap, outlining three generations of StoreDot technologies: Silicon dominant XFC, semi-solid state, and post-lithium architecture. This roadmap reiterates the anticipated milestones over the next decade with 100in5 targeted for 2024, 100in3 for 2028, and 100in2 for 2032.

StoreDot is known for its silicon-dominant chemistries that are essential for electric vehicles to be able to charge at extremely high speeds. The company has revolutionized the conventional Li-ion battery by innovating and synthesizing proprietary organic and inorganic compounds, optimized by Artificial Intelligence algorithms, enabling it to charge an EV in under 10 minutes. StoreDot’s strategic investors and partners include BP, Daimler, VinFast, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Ola Electric, Samsung, TDK, and its manufacturing partner EVE Energy. In 2022, the company achieved a world first by demonstrating a live extreme fast charging of an EV battery cell in 10 minutes. StoreDot is on target for mass production readiness of 100in5 technology by 2025.

Dr. Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot CEO, said, “This is a huge step for StoreDot and a strong endorsement that our ground-breaking technology is readying for mass production. We are extremely pleased and proud that Polestar aims to be the first automotive company to showcase our extreme fast charge battery cells in a full-scale, driveable prototype. Polestar is already a strategic investor in our business, but this really cements and builds on our collaboration. We still have lots of work to do to fully integrate our systems into a production car, but our teams are already fully engaged, and we will be demonstrating those results in the coming months. We can’t wait to see this technology in the hands of customers taking advantage of such game changing charging speeds.”
