The evolution of batteries is; very important for car manufacturers to offer customers better and better electric vehicles. Several manufacturers are in fact investing in companies that develop new technologies in this field. From Polestar comes an interesting novelty; precisely on the subject of batteries. The manufacturer has decided to make an investment in StoreDot , a company we have talked about several times and which is developing new cells capable of offering ultra-fast charging.

< p> The goal of the Israeli company is to create batteries for electric cars capable of guaranteeing an autonomy of 160 km with just five minutes of charging by 2024 . As part of this investment, Polestar is collaborating with StoreDot to evaluate the possibility; to adapt and apply the technology to their cars as part of a feasibility test.

The test scenarios already have; being studied include the customization of StoreDot cell technology for Polestar cars, in order to guarantee more recharging; quick. Will we therefore see the StoreDot cells inside the future electric models of Polestar?

Possible, indeed, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath goes off-balance by stating that if the pilot tests go well, StoreDot's technology could be implemented inside the cars by 2026. It will be & agrave; therefore very interesting to understand how it will evolve; this relationship between the two companies. It is worth noting that Volvo had also decided to invest in StoreDot.

Polestar can & ograve; provide valuable assistance in the development process of a new battery technology for the automotive sector by bringing the priceless point of view of a brand that puts performance and sustainability first. Charging times and range are common concerns for many owners of combustion engine cars that hold them back from switching to electric vehicles. StoreDot's state-of-the-art battery technology potentially provides real-world solutions to overcome these obstacles. If the pilot projects we are carrying out with StoreDot prove successful, these solutions could be implemented in Polestar's cars by 2026.

ULTRA-FAST RECHARGE

Just recently, StoreDot shared a video demonstrating its battery development progress . Movie that we report again and in which you can & ograve; see how the cell started charging at 135 A , keeping this level up to 69%. During the charging phases, the temperature reached 33.1 degrees , a value well below the threshold considered critical by the company.

Development is obviously not finished yet. Now you will have to working to make cells ready for mass production.
