Battery developer Storedot says that it will offer batteries that it claims are capable of accepting 100 miles of range in just two minutes for sale by 2032 – a development that could dramatically slash charging times for electric vehicles.
Revealing its ‘100inX’ technology roadmap, the Israel-based company said that its extreme fast charging battery cells offering 100 miles in five minutes will be ready for mass production in 2024, followed by cells capable of 100 miles of range by 2028.
Last year the firm said it would start to manufacture silicon-dominant extreme fast charging (XFC) cells capable of offering 300 miles in 10 minutes.
Storedot says that it is working on semi-solid and full solid state batteries for the 100in3 and the 100in2 batteries due later this decade.
The firm says its XFC batteries can be applied to any cell format, with the battery developer hopeful that its technology will ‘give automotive manufacturers a clear, realistic technology roadmap for solving the range anxiety barrier’.
“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.” said StoreDot boss Doron Myersdorf.
“Our ultimate goal though, and one that is now absolutely in our grasp, is to produce cells that will revolutionise charging times, achieving 100 miles of range in only two minutes.”
