StoreDot, an Israel-based electric vehicle extreme fast charging (XFC) battery
startup, today announced that it has advanced technology that extends the life
span of batteries, making them highly effective not only during the vehicle life
span, but also for second-life applications.

The technology combines the electrochemistry system of the company’s silicon
dominant cells to ensure that there is minimal drop-off in performance even as
the battery ages.

StoreDot reports that a robust performance is maintained even after 1,000 cycles
and 80% capacity, the point at which rival lithium-ion fast-charging
technologies start to rapidly deteriorate in performance. Even after 1,700
cycles, long after the accepted industry norm, StoreDot claims its batteries can
maintain 70% of their original capacity, making them effective in second-life
usage for less dynamic applications such as in energy storage and grid load
balancing systems.



Dr. Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot CEO, said:

> StoreDot is well known for creating extreme fast charging technologies and
> helping drivers overcome charging anxiety, which is currently the biggest
> barrier to EV ownership.
> 
> But we believe in advancing the entire battery eco-system, ultimately
> delivering an optimum solution to sustain the transition to full EV
> electrification. This latest development is proof of that.
> 
> We now have the ability to hugely extend the life of our batteries, long after
> their vehicle service life. This not only has benefits for the drivers of EVs,
> allowing them to maintain performance of their vehicles for many more years,
> but also in second-life applications. 
> 
> Not only will this transformative development encourage more people to drive
> EVs, but this technology has huge benefits for sustainability, too, reducing
> the need to retire and recycle an expensive component that can now serve in
> critical second-life applications.

StoreDot says it’s in advanced talks with global car makers. It also says it’s
on track to deliver mass-produced XFC batteries, which provide a 50% reduction
in charging time at the same cost, by 2024.

In early September 2021, StoreDot announced that it produced the first 4680
cylindrical cell, that it claims can charge in only 10 minutes.



In November, StoreDot claimed it had become the first company to produce XFC
cells for electric vehicles on a mass production line. And on December 1, 2021,
StoreDot announced new patented technology that uses a background repair
mechanism to allow battery cells to regenerate while they are in use.
