StoreDot: Winter-proof battery technology

Laboratory tests have recently shown, according to StoreDot, that the Israeli company's silicon-dominant XFC battery cells achieve a capacity of 80% when charged at standard speed at –10°C. At the same temperature, the cells provided more than 85% of their full capacity. Even in extreme cold of –20°C, they still delivered over 70%.

StoreDot CEO Dr. Doron Myersdorf commented: “Our recent tests have shown that our batteries can exceed the traditional limitations of range and charging in cold weather that often hinder electric vehicles in colder climates. Although all lithium-ion batteries tend to lose capacity in extreme cold, our innovative design, which uses silicon-dominant anodes, minimizes this loss. Our batteries offer a high driving range even at extreme sub-zero temperatures.”

EVE Energy becomes partner in mass production

Additionally, the cell specialist announced that the long-time production partner, the Chinese company EVE Energy, has also been awarded the contract for mass production of StoreDot cells in its factories. The Israeli company will also license its technology to EVE and moreover pursue licensing agreements with third parties to establish its own global production capacities.
