This Company Has The Battery Technology To Beat Tesla!
Tesla’s new 4680 battery format, promises yet another step forward in electric vehicle capabilities, but it isn’t ready for largescale production just yet. Also, while it promises more range for less cost, Tesla’s new cell design still doesn’t fix one of the major criticisms of battery-electric vehicles, that is how long they take to refuel. Israeli company StoreDot thinks it has the answer.
StoreDot, a developer of extreme fast-charging battery technology for electric vehicles, has unveiled a fast-charging cylindrical battery cell, in the style of Tesla’s 4680 battery cell, that it claims can be fully charged in just 10 minutes.
StoreDot’s own 4680 cylindrical silicon-dominant battery cell is the work of several years of development, which “was kicked off” at Warwick University in the United Kingdom, in partnership with British oil & gas supermajor, BP, which is one of StoreDot’s own strategic partners.
StoreDot claims that its new 4680 format – which they say is “increasingly favored by global carmakers, specifically electric vehicle giant Tesla” – has been in development “for over three years.” and is scheduled to go into production in 2024
