[Batteries capable of fully charging
in five minutes have been produced
+in a factory for the first time,
marking a significant step towards
electric cars becoming as fast to
charge as filling up petrol or diesel vehicles.
Electric vehicles are a vital part of action
to tackle the climate crisis but running
out of charge during a journey is
a worry for drivers. The new lithium-ion batteries
were developed by
the Israeli company StoreDot and manufactured
by Eve Energy in China on standard production lines.
StoreDot has already demonstrated
its “extreme fast-charging” battery in phones,
drones and scooters and the 1,000 batteries
it has now produced are to showcase its
technology to carmakers and other companies.
Daimler, BP, Samsung and TDK have all
invested in StoreDot, which has raised $130m
to date and was named
a Bloomberg New Energy Finance Pioneer in 2020.]


Well done StoreDot Company.
