While StoreDot is already known for its ‘extremely fast-charging’ batteries of phones, scooters, and drones, the Israeli company will now showcase its latest innovation to the world.

Many automotive and electronic companies including Daimler, BP, Samsung, and TDK have already invested heavily in the Israeli company, which has raised $130 million since its inception. StoreDot was also named New Energy Finance Pioneer by Bloomberg last year.

StoreDot’s CEO, Doron Myersdorf, has said the number one impediment to the adoption of electric vehicles is no longer cost, it is range anxiety.

Myersdorf noted that StoreDot has also decided to release the engineering samples of its five-minute charging lithium-ion EV batteries, adding that the decision is a testament to the feasibility and commercial readiness of the company’s product.

Besides, major companies worldwide including Tesla, Enevate, and Sila Nanotechnologies are also working on fast-charging batteries.
