StoreDot, the innovator of extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology for electric vehicles, has announced its strategic technology roadmap, labeled '100inX', which will deliver batteries capable of charging 100 miles of range on just a two-minute charge, with mass production readiness planned within 10 years.
StoreDot is also firmly on track for its first milestone for global automotive manufacturers: producing its silicon-dominant anode XFC lithium-ion cells at scale by 2024 that will be capable of delivering 100 miles of range in five minutes of charge.
In parallel, StoreDot is already at the advanced stages of developing groundbreaking semi-solid-state technologies which will further improve the batteries by 40 percent over four years – delivering 100 miles of charge time in just 3 minutes and being mass production-ready by 2028.
100in5, 100in3, and 100in2 miles per minute of charging are three generations of StoreDot technologies of Silicon dominant XFC, semi solid-state, and fully solid state. They will be delivered over the coming decade with 100in5 by 2024, 100in3 by 2028 (40 percent improvement), and 100in2 by 2032 (additional 33 percent improvement).
Dr. Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot CEO stated "We must give global automotive manufacturers a clear, realistic, and hype-free roadmap for the introduction of our fast-charging battery technologies. After intense development of our silicon-dominant chemistries, we will be mass-production ready by 2024, delivering a transformative product that will overcome the major barrier to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles – charging times and range anxiety.
"However, we are committed to a rapid transition to a cleaner, zero-emissions world and our strategic technology roadmap extends long after 2024, where each milestone represents an impressive performance improvement - a major impact on the driver's experience. We are also progressing with our semi-solid-state battery aiming for its production at scale by 2028, which will demonstrate a better charging experience for EV drivers in terms of miles per minute of charging.
"Our goal though, and one that is now absolutely in our grasp, is to produce cells that will revolutionize charging times, achieving 100 miles of range in only two minutes. This breakthrough performance that was once considered impossible - is achievable with StoreDot's technology in just 10 years from now."
StoreDot's ground-breaking extreme fast charging cells will be available in both pouch and the 4680-family form factor – the formats increasingly favored by most global car manufacturers. Pioneering work for these XFC cells has been undertaken with the participation of global experts from Israel, the UK, the US, and China. '100in5' cells of StoreDot's XFC technology are already being tested in the real world by several automotive OEMs.
