In the quest to make electric vehicles more appealing to consumers, Polestar has taken a significant leap forward with its Extreme Fast Charging (XFC)

Polestar is working with an Israeli startup called StoreDot to improve charging speeds for its vehicles. Using a prototype Polestar 5 sedan, the prototype was able to charge from 10% to 80% in just 5 minutes.

Polestar has tested a silicon anode battery in one of its upcoming EV models. The cell can charge in just 10 minutes.

Polestar and fast-charging battery pioneer StoreDot have successfully demonstrated the implementation of StoreDot’s Extreme Fast Charging (XFC) technology

Polestar has teamed up with Israel-based start-up StoreDot to build an electric prototype that charges from 10% to 80% almost as quickly as you can fully fill up a fuel tank. The brand stresses it achieved this relatively fast charging time using a drivable car rather than in a lab.

Polestar and StoreDot have recently completed a successful demonstration of StoreDot's Extreme Fast Charging (XFC) technology in a vehicle, specifically a Polestar 5 prototype, marking the first application of this technology in a car.

Battery company StoreDot has installed its experimental Extreme Fast Charging batteries in a Polestar 5 prototype. In a test, the car’s batteries were successfully taken from 10 to 80 percent state of charge in just 10 minutes.

The Swedish car firm and StoreDot, an extreme fast charging company have collaborated together to develop the world’s quickest charging time. Polestar and extreme fast charging company StoreDot have developed battery technology that enables a charging time of 10 minutes.

Polestar and StoreDot successfully charged an EV battery from 10-80% in 10 minutes, showing that the companies are getting much closer to high-speed charging.
