With silicon-dominant anodes, StoreDot’s “100in5” extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology enables both high energy density and extremely quick charging speeds.
Global automakers are being reminded by StoreDot that they can achieve extremely rapid charging speeds for near-future electric vehicle models without sacrificing energy density.
Greater driving range and smaller, lighter battery pack sizes for the same amount of stored energy are made possible by high energy density in EV batteries. High energy density has, however, historically been associated with worse cycle performance, slower charging rates, and shorter battery life.
StoreDot claims that because of their XFC battery technology, which makes use of silicon-dominant anodes, the rules have now changed.
Its XFC cells enable ultra-fast charging rates and long cycle life, while also maintaining high energy densities equivalent to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
The only option that can match automakers’ timelines for high energy density (>320Wh/kg) and continuous extreme rapid charging capabilities (>2000 consecutive 10%-80% charging cycles) is StoreDot’s well-established and tested >140Ah Pouch and Prismatic cell capacities and forms, touts the official release.
StoreDot’s “100in5” XFC battery cells allow EV drivers to have the best of both worlds: a long driving range and extremely quick charging times, all without having to sacrifice energy density. When customers desire EVs that don’t compel trade-offs between range and charging time, resolving these two crucial challenges might be the catalyst for the widespread adoption of EVs.
Dan Corfas, Director of Product and System Engineering at StoreDot, “Common EV cell chemistries allow for either high energy or high power capabilities. We’ve changed the rules with our silicon-dominant anodes because we have developed long-lasting cells with both high energy and extreme fast charge capability. But for us, this is not just a lab concept—we’re advancing this promise into a commercially-viable, proven solution that will support car makers’ decarbonization targets and timeline.”
Last month StoreDot continued its path towards commercialization by demonstrating that its XFC battery technology could charge Polestar 5 prototype EV in just 10 minutes in a video released here.
StoreDot remains firmly on track with production-readiness of its XFC cells that deliver 100 miles charged in 5 minutes this year. The company aims to deliver 100 miles charged in 4 minutes in 2026 and 100 miles charged in 3 minutes by 2028.
