StoreDot has announced that its prismatic battery cell charges from 10-80% in 10 minutes without compromising the battery’s health and range. StoreDot said its battery aims to address the main barrier to mass EV adoption by eliminating charging anxiety and is available for immediate integration by OEMs. More than half of survey respondents from the U.K. and Germany are hesitant to switch to EVs due to lengthy charging times, despite investments in expanding charging infrastructure to meet growing demand and curb CO2 emissions.

StoreDot assembled its first prismatic cells earlier this year. Thanks to an ongoing agreement with automotive manufacturer Flex|N|Gate, StoreDot said its XFC battery technology is production-ready at a scale to satisfy global demand. The sample cells tested had an 80Ah (amp hour) capacity, demonstrating the ability to charge 10-80% in 10 minutes without overheating, paving the way for developing 160Ah cells that align with customer requirements.

StoreDot said its XFC cells enable 100 miles of charge in five minutes, and that its team is working to reduce the charge time to four minutes by 2026. Despite halving the charging time compared to other premium fast-charging models, StoreDot said its batteries show no accelerated degradation due to fast charging.

StoreDot has partnered with 15 OEMs to test its production-ready silicon XFC battery cells, which can be integrated into existing EV architectures, according to the company. StoreDot’s design combines high energy density, reliability, and the same price trajectory as standard battery solutions, the company said.
