StoreDot’s ultra-fast batteries take another step: 15 manufacturers are already testing them – News – Hybrid & Electric Vehicles

the batteries Super fast charging the shopthe first family called 100inXThe company revealed that it has already been tested by more than 15 automakers around the world.

The first generation of XFC technology from the shop It’s called the 100in5, in reference to its carrying capacity: “100 miles in 5 minutes.” Translated into Spanish and passed into kilometers, it means that It can provide 160 kilometers of autonomy in 5 minutes. This is the theoretical charge capacity of these batteries, which have now taken another step towards serial production, which is scheduled for 2024.

Although StoreDot hasn’t detailed the manufacturers involved, it has posted a map that gives some clues about which brands have started testing these XFC batteries in prototypes of their electric cars. It is spread all over the world and includes manufacturers of Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, South Korea, Japan, India, Vietnam and the United States. StoreDot is in talks to close more partnerships with automakers this year.

To date, StoreDot has received investment from automakers such as Daimler, Ola Electric, Polestar, VinFast, and Volvo Cars. Not surprisingly, these are among the dozen or so manufacturers already testing StoreDot batteries.

According to the manufacturer, the results of preliminary tests confirm that the cells are ready to start mass production in 2024, as planned. The cells have an energy density of 300 W/kg and not only charge very quickly, but have also been shown to maintain at least 80% of their capacity. After 1000 charge and discharge cycles with high powers.

Point Battery Technology Store

As we said, StoreDot plans to develop three generations of batteries, which are actually based on three different technologies. The ones he’s starting to test now, the batteries 100in5they are Lithium batteries with a silicon anode. Polestar was among the first to announce this They will use it in their electric cars.

batteries 100 in 3 They use a Semi-solid electrolyte It is scheduled to be launched on the market in 2028.

The third generation is called 100 in 2 And in theory, they will be able to achieve 160 kilometers of autonomy in two minutes. They are solid state batteries And, given the complexity of their manufacturethey wouldn’t be ready for serial production and marketing for another decade.
