🔋 New fast-charging electric vehicle battery with a lifetime of 400,000 miles
- StoreDot has introduced a new electric vehicle battery that can be charged up to 80 percent in just 5-10 minutes.
- The battery boasts a lifetime of 65,000 miles thanks to the ability to undergo 2,000 ultra-fast charging cycles.
A breakthrough in battery technology
Israeli StoreDot, which is partially owned by Volvo Cars and Polestar among others, has developed a battery that charges quickly and has a very long lifespan.
The new battery charges up to 80 percent in between five and ten minutes. Thanks to the ability to undergo 2,000 charging cycles with minimal degradation, it will last for 650,000 miles.
Normally, fast charging wears on batteries, causing their performance to deteriorate over time. The combination of fast charging and long battery lifespan makes this battery unique.
Its silicon-dominant cell composition offers an energy density of 330Wh/kg and 860Wh/L at the stack level. This exceeds what current lithium-ion batteries can provide.
The average weight of a 72 kWh battery is estimated to be 218 kg, plus the weight of the casing, while a 100 kWh battery is expected to fit in a battery pack of only 116 liters.
StoreDot is well on its way to commercializing its new battery, with beta tests planned to be conducted during the year.
