Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:46:23 GMT

One of the biggest downsides to owning an electric vehicle is the time it takes to charge it up, especially when you compare the process to filling up with gas.It's a big reason why many people just aren't interested in the hassle of having an EV.Now, one startup says they can change that with new battery technology they call XFC, or extreme fast charging. We're talking 100 miles of range in just 5 minutes.The Israeli startup is called StoreDot, and recently they were showing off their charging tech in a demo at Polestar Day in Santa Monica."The breakthrough is to replace some of the materials inside the battery in order to enable this extreme fast charging. Because with traditional chemistries of lithium ion, you cannot charge at these rates," explained Doron Myersdorf, CEO and co-founder of StoreDot.The big difference: they replace the graphite in their batteries with silicon, which allows them to absorb the energy faster than ever.
