Israeli startup StoreDot said it had received “outstanding battery performance feedback” from potential customers for the first evaluation and integration of its A-samples testing phase of extreme fast charging (XFC) electric vehicle battery cells.
Testing took place over the past six months at 15 "global automotive brand manufacturers" in Europe, Asia and the US.
StoreDot said testers were able to reach energy density greater than 300Wh/kg, at a charging rate higher than 4C, achieving over 1000 consecutive XFC charging cycles.
Amir Tirosh, StoreDot COO, said: ““The testing results confirm the value proposition that XFC is critical in eliminating range and charging anxiety while at the same time allowing OEMs to design EVs with smaller pack sizes that can charge in minutes.”
Some OEMs have already progressed to phase two of the testing programs which involves the initiation of B-samples programmes tailored to their own pack shapes and specific requirements.
