StoreDot, a leader in extreme fast charging (XFC) technology for electric vehicles (EVs), has announced a significant advancement in its ‘100in4’ product roadmap. The company has successfully developed prototype cells that can add 100 miles of range in just 4 minutes, surpassing their previous ‘100in5’ milestone ahead of schedule.
The new silicon-based 100in4 cells show a 10% improvement in energy density over their predecessors, tested under low pressure while preserving StoreDot’s standards for minimal volumetric expansion. These cells have achieved 1100 XFC cycles with a high energy density, projecting an energy density of 340Wh/kg in an EV form factor.
StoreDot is scaling up this technology from a 3Ah cell to a 140Ah version, aiming for mass production readiness in 2026. The company remains on track to produce XFC cells that can deliver 100 miles of charge in 5 minutes in 2024, further reducing this to 4 minutes in 2026, and 3 minutes by 2028.
Dr. Doron Myersdorf, CEO of StoreDot, emphasized the holistic approach to battery design, stating, “By taking a balanced, system-level approach, we are unlocking the full potential of our XFC battery technology to maximize real-world performance. Rather than prioritizing charging speed, our plan focuses on technological enhancements across the board – energy density, cell and pack design, chemistry, and cooling optimization.”
