Polestar Partners With StoreDot, Equipping the Polestar 5 With Ultracharging Technology That Allows for 160 km in Just 5 Minutes.
Last week, Polestar held a significant event, revealing important updates for its electric vehicle range. Among the announcements was the start of collaboration with StoreDot, an innovative Israeli start-up specializing in battery technology, known for its significant advances in ultracharging. Set to be showcased next year, the Polestar 5 will incorporate these new batteries, marking a significant step in the evolution of the automaker’s electric vehicles.
Polestar 5 Promises to Charge Up to 80% in Just 10 Minutes
In the market for some time, StoreDot began receiving investments from Polestar last year, and the company’s strong point is the promise of results from its ultracharging: the technology promises to deliver 160 km of range to the electric car in just 5 minutes of charging.
According to data printed on one of the prototype batteries, the charging time from 10% to 80% is also fast: in just 10 minutes. The appeal of StoreDot’s batteries, used in the new Polestar 5, lies in the construction, which still uses liquid electrolyte battery technology, however, with one difference: silicon-based electrodes.

More specifically, in the battery anodes, instead of the current lithium-ion batteries that use graphite-based electrodes, for example. Although there is an expectation that the Polestar 5 will use batteries with nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) chemistry, StoreDot claims that its silicon-based anode design could be used in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, however. This is the type of battery that will appear in other models, such as Ford, Toyota, and GM. This is due to the long lifespan and ease of access.
When Will Ultracharging Technology Reach the Public?
It is important to note that conventional batteries have a lower energy density and are less resistant to extreme temperatures compared to NMC batteries, for example. In this context, the Israeli start-up maintains that its innovative anode design can improve the limitations of LFP batteries. Therefore, it makes sense that Polestar is developing a prototype electric car to test the battery’s effectiveness in real-world conditions. This stage allows the company to identify and address any failures before moving on to large-scale production.
For now, it is still not possible to determine exactly when this fast charging technology will be available to the public. However, the prospect of a charging time for the Polestar 5 comparable to the refueling time of a gasoline car represents a significant advance in the convenience of electric vehicles.
Companies Comment on the New Technology Set to Arrive in the Electric Car Market
According to Polestar’s CEO, Thomas Ingenlath, StoreDot is making great strides in developing its extremely fast charging technology, and Polestar is a proud investor and partner in its evolution.
StoreDot’s pioneering extremely fast-charging batteries, combined with the upcoming next-generation electric powertrain of the Polestar 5, could completely change the ownership experience for electric car owners with the ability to recharge in minutes.
StoreDot’s CEO, Doron Myersdorf, states that next year he will demonstrate how a large-scale battery module developed by Polestar with this incredible technology can be charged. The anxiety will soon be a thing of the past.
With production planned to begin as early as 2025, the Polestar 5 is an evolution of the concept Polestar Precept. This model will feature all-wheel drive and is expected to deliver 652 kW, equivalent to 886 horsepower and 900 Nm, using an 800V architecture. The Polestar 5 will be the brand’s first to use a new platform, which will be followed by the Polestar 6, with a planned launch in 2026.
