StoreDot is now on schedule for mass production readiness of its 100in5 silicon-dominant extreme fast-charging batteries next year, with a range of 100 miles (160 kilometres) in just five minutes of charging. The XFC battery solution from StoreDot eliminates the primary ‘charging anxiety’ obstacle to EV widespread adoption. But, the company’s CEO is asking some automakers to reevaluate their typical technology launch schedules in order to expedite the use of these game-changing batteries in new vehicles, therefore benefiting customers and accelerating the uptake of electric vehicles.
Historically, global automakers have been constrained to sequential prototyping and testing methods with durations that correspond to the conventionally lengthy ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle development cycles. By cooperation with startups and scaleup-ready firms such as StoreDot, however, top automakers may adopt new methods and utilise a more rapid development mode that expedites the introduction of the latest technology to the market.
Dr Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot CEO “We are working with many global OEMs and it’s clear that some are already changing their mindset to adopt advanced battery technologies faster. But not every OEM behaves like this, and I believe the entire EV industry will benefit from accelerating its processes and timelines if we are going to collectively undertake the seismic shift to electrification that the world needs.”
“With a typical 5-year cycle to implement any new battery technology, we are encouraging global automotive manufacturers following traditional processes to adjust their methods and mindset to more agile business practices when evaluating and implementing innovative technologies. Testing of new technologies such as StoreDot’s Extreme Fast Charge – XFC – cells can be a strict, sequential, and laborious process that assumes a certain level of technology maturity. The upshot is that our game-changing batteries might not get into the hands of car buyers in a timely fashion. As charging anxiety is one of the main barriers to EV adoption, such conservative processes can have consequences for the entire battery and vehicle ecosystem and its ability to vastly and quickly improve the world in which we live.”
“Of course, car makers must not ignore crucial elements such as safety and reliability testing, which are a given. But in my experience, some OEMs are still rigidly sticking to testing regimes that hinder the ability to take advantage of battery breakthroughs. Some parts of the automotive industry are currently being held back and will continue to be so unless we all adopt the agility of start-up concurrent engineering practices.”
StoreDot’s strategic technological roadmap ‘100inX’ is on track, and with improved OEM process alignment, it can reach the market more quickly. XFC technology includes 100in5, 100in3, and 100in2 miles per minute of charging – three generations of StoreDot technologies consisting of a silicon-dominated anode, semi-solid-state, and post-lithium. The roadmap affirms that widespread manufacturing and acceptance will occur over the next decade, with 100in5 becoming commercially available as early as next year, 100in3 by 2028, and 100in2 by 2032.
StoreDot, the pioneer of extreme rapid charging battery technology for electric vehicles, is pushing global electric vehicle makers to adopt more of a start-up mentality in order to accelerate the introduction of transformative charging technologies.
