Fast charging battery technology company StoreDot has outlined its key goals for 2024, which include focusing on mass production of its extreme fast charging (XFC) technologies en-route to commercialization. Its immediate research and development efforts will be dedicated to creating advanced B-sample prismatic cells in collaboration with global car manufacturers.
In partnership with Polestar, StoreDot aims to unveil the world’s first electric vehicle equipped with XFC battery cell technology this year. A live demonstration featuring production-ready batteries fitted to a prototype vehicle is anticipated, paving the way for broader adoption of XFC technology.
To support these initiatives, StoreDot’s US team will expand into a new facility in Irvine, California. Positioned strategically on the West Coast, the US arm is well-suited to tap into the local expertise for the development of future semi-solid and solid-state batteries.
Through its ‘100inX’ product roadmap, StoreDot is on schedule to achieve this year production-ready XFC cells capable of charging 100 miles in five minutes. The roadmap further outlines targets of 100 miles charged in four minutes by 2026 and 100 miles charged in three minutes by 2028.
Additionally, StoreDot plans to work closely with OEMs to meet various form factor requirements.
Doron Myersdorf, CEO of StoreDot, said, ” 2024 will be the year of prismatic B-samples, proving our XFC technology scales to automotive production as we transition toward mass manufacturing readiness. StoreDot is the pioneer of XFC cells, and this year will see us continuing our path toward commercialization and cementing our position as the world leader in delivering extreme fast charging battery technologies.”
