XFC battery technology company StoreDot has revealed progress made on the development of its next-phase technology roadmap aimed at accelerating the integration of XFC into EVs. This follows the company’s introduction of production-ready cells capable of 100 miles in five minutes (100in5). It is working toward 100 in three minutes (100in3) by 2028.
Most recently, StoreDot has reached its 100in4 target ahead of schedule in early prototype tests by implementing a suite of cell enhancements that enable XFC with available infrastructure capabilities.
100in4 technology uses a small-capacity (3Ah) multi-layer battery cell with internal electrode layers, aimed at targeting a minimum 10% improvement in energy density compared with its 100in5 cells. StoreDot suggests this will enable more mileage from a charge with the existing charging rates.
For the 100in4, StoreDot has already achieved 1,100 XFC cycles in a small form factor cell, with a projected energy density of 340Wh/kg in an EV form factor. This came earlier than expected, and the company plans to continue refining its XFC technology for production-ready cells that deliver 100 miles charged in just four minutes by 2026.
Dr Doron Myersdorf, CEO of StoreDot, said, “Rather than prioritizing charging speed, our plan focuses on technological enhancements across the board – energy density, cell and pack design, chemistry and cooling optimization.”
