StoreDot

On the road to delivering 100 miles of EV range in five minutes by the end of 2024, tech firm StoreDot has installed its extreme fast charging cells in a Polestar 5 prototype, and zapped the 77-kWh pack to 80% capacity in 10 minutes.

Israeli battery startup StoreDot says its "100-in-5" batteries are on track for mass production readiness by 2025. It is now teaming with Polestar to present the first full-scale prototype using the extreme fast charging (XFC) battery tech.

Ola is building the world's largest motorcycle factory, capable of making 10 million electric scooters a year, starting with its impressive S1. Now, it's invested in Israeli fast-charge battery tech that could deliver 100 miles of range in 5 minutes.

Most multicopter drones can only fly for about 30 minutes, after which their battery has to be recharged for one to two hours. According to Israeli company StoreDot, though, its FlashBattery tech delivers a full charge in just five minutes.

After completing a round of funding for a new electric vehicle business unit, StoreDot – which last year revealed a smartphone battery that charged in 30 seconds – might just be able to deliver on its vision of EVs that can receive a full charge in just five minutes.

Today at Microsoft’s Think Next symposium in Tel Aviv, Israeli startup StoreDot has demonstrated the prototype of a nanodot-based smartphone battery it claims can fully charge in just under 30 seconds.
