StoreDot, a leading developer in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology, has reached a significant milestone by successfully validating its silicon-dominant extreme fast charging (XFC) EV battery cells for over 2,000 cycles. These cells maintain more than 80% of their original capacity after repeated charges, setting a new industry standard for EV longevity, durability, and market value. This achievement underscores StoreDot’s commitment to enhancing the EV user experience with faster charging times without compromising battery life or performance.
StoreDot Achieves 2,000 Fast Charge Cycles
The demonstration of charging from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes at a rate of 4.2C, alongside discharging rates of 1C, showcases the cells’ superior performance. These high energy density cells achieve impressive metrics, at least 330Wh/kg and 860Wh/L at the stack level, affirming StoreDot’s leadership in the XFC category with notable advancements in vehicle range and charging speed.
Yaron Fein, StoreDot Executive Vice President of R&D, emphasized the importance of this milestone, stating, “Surpassing 2,000 cycles with our extreme fast charging cells solidifies StoreDot’s position at the forefront of battery technology innovation for electric vehicles.” This achievement is a testament to the durability and reliability of StoreDot’s silicon-dominant XFC batteries, marking a significant step toward commercialization.
