StoreDot Promises That Its New Battery Concept For Electric Cars Can Be Recharged In Just 10 Minutes, Being More Efficient And Having Greater Autonomy Even Than Tesla Cells

Just like Tesla last year, which also presented a promising new battery technology for electric cars, StoreDot was able to break Tesla’s standard and launched the first 4680 cylindrical cell, which is the model proposed by Tesla itself for electric cars. By 2024, the Israeli company has been preparing to sell the battery worldwide. The samples were produced by a Chinese manufacturer, EVE Energy, and what differentiates this battery from many others based on graphite is the use of metalloid nanoparticles in the anode cells, which makes the process faster.

StoreDot Says Its Battery Cell Uses Anode Chemistry

The cell makes use of an anode chemistry, which has silicon as the predominant element, similar to the model previously applied in the “pack” cells, and the 4680 cylindrical cell uses “continuous tab technology.”

The pioneering work for these innovative technologies began at Warwick University in the UK, with the collaboration of StoreDot’s strategic partner – BP. It was further developed with experts from around the world. The work is covered by five patents in the cell design area and uses StoreDot’s continuous guide technology.

The development of the new battery increases efficiency and addresses safety and performance issues typically associated with the rigid case structure of cylindrical cells. Tests at StoreDot’s facilities showed promising low levels of internal resistance. Samples of cylindrical cells are now ramping up the production lines of EVE Energy, StoreDot’s manufacturing partner in China.

StoreDot’s Technology Based On Tesla’s Model For Electric Cars Has Been Tested In Cell Phones

The technology, previously tested in cell phones, was later tested in small motorcycles (scooters). According to StoreDot, the next step for the advancement of this technology is to use it in electric cars.

The startup’s CEO, Doron Myresdorf, stated in a press release that “for the first time beyond innovation in the lab, for a commercially viable and scalable product for mass production.”

An article was published in The Guardian where StoreDot claims that, by 2025, batteries will deliver an autonomy of 160 km in just 5 minutes. It is very similar to what Tesla did with the V3 SuperCharger. So far, not much is known about the preliminary specifications of the cell, which means that further research is expected.
