StoreDot’s EV battery cells achieve 2,000+ consecutive XFC cycles
EV battery maker StoreDot says its silicon-dominant battery cells are the world's first to achieve more than 2,000 consecutive XFC cycles.
I don’t have the energy to read through yet another battery article, so can I be lazy and ask: Does this actually matter or is this a fluff piece about a potential tech that is years away from market?
I read it. It seems real and close to market. They have strategic investment from car companies and the battery charges quickly (5 minutes per 100 miles) while still retaining over 80% capacity after 2000 charges, which is apparently a typical regulation for EVs. Their goal is to get it down to 3 minutes per 100 miles of range so fast charging a car will be about like pumping gas and not a thing where you bring a Kindle or a Switch/SteamDeck to juice up.
That is impressive, and sounds like it’s much more feasible than some of the stuff we’ve seen over the years.
They will need the same batteries in the fast charger or a great AC to DC converter.in the cars.
Today’s research won’t impact you tomorrow, but research from a 5 to 10 years ago will impact you tomorrow. We’ve got to look at the bigger picture.
Yes, fluff piece etc.
