Audi Q6 E-Tron | 255 KM Range with a 10-Minute Charge!

⚡StoreDot is a solid state battery initiative. It has very important investors such as #Volvo, VinFast and BP. The initiative introduced its battery solution in which long thin cells are directly integrated into the chassis.
🟢Although it is a solid state battery initiative, It initially developed was a silicon anode lithium ion cell. The initiative says that the first prototype using the solution called XFC will hit the roads this year.
🚙The initiative increases the energy density above 320 Wh/kg thanks to the battery integrated into the chassis and promises more efficient thermal management with its integrated cooling system. It has a target of full charging in 10 minutes. It was previously announced that the battery could maintain this high charging performance at full capacity even after 1,000 cycles.
🔋Mercedes, Volvo, Polestar, VinFast and electric scooter giant Ola Electric are among the manufacturers developing StoreDot battery-powered cars. Polestar is expected to produce its first prototype in 2025.
🔥If there is no delay again, the silicon anode battery will be followed by StoreDot&#8217;s solid state lithium-metal cells a few years later. With these cells, charging time will be reduced to 5 minutes&#8230;

#Polestar, the sub-brand of #Volvo sold 54,000 electric cars in 2023. The company announced today that its second model, Polestar 4, has officially started to be delivered.
The car draws attention with its extraordinary design without a rear window due to its coupe SUV form. It was put into mass production in China by #Geely, the owner of Volvo, in November 2023. The first deliveries also took place in China. It was announced that sales in Europe and Australia will start in the coming weeks.
Polestar 4 comes with a CATL-produced NMC battery with a capacity of 102 kWh. It became the second mass production car of the brand. The third model, Polestar 3, which can be considered the equivalent of the Volvo EX90, will be launched in the summer of 2024.
Polestar 4 will enter mass production in South Korea after China next year. Thus, it can be exported to Europe and America duty-free. If the brand enters Turkey during this period, it can start selling the Korean-made Polestar 4 at a very competitive price.

Geely one of China&#8217;s largest automobile groups is buying Proterra Powered. The company has been operating in the field of battery supply for electric buses and commercial vehicles in the USA for 20 years for $ 210 million!
Proterra Powered is a battery and motor manufacturer affiliated with Proterra, which filed for bankruptcy protection in August 2023 due to difficulties in supplying battery cells and seeking funding. 20 years of experience and customer portfolio will be transferred to the Chinese with the agreement.
Proterra Powered&#8217;s battery solutions were previously used by Anadolu Isuzu in Turkey for the Citi VOLT electric bus. The company has a battery pack/module development center in California and a battery assembly plant in South Carolina.
Geely made the $210 million purchase through the Sweden-based Volvo Group The Group operates within its own organisation, and can use Proterra&#8217;s battery experience in Volvo brand commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars.
The Chinese giant, which was preparing to launch its Zeekr sub-brand, which produces only electric cars, to the stock market in the USA, was planning to expand its sales network in Europe in 2024, while in 2025 it had the desire to open up to the US market. In a possible US car factory investment, Proterra&#8217;s battery facilities could be a great advantage for Zeekr.
The company recently announced that another brand, Polestar, will be produced in South Korea in agreement with Renault to avoid 2.5%+25% customs duty in the US.

Critical Battery Investment In The US By Chinese Geely

Renault and Polestar will produce electric vehicles in South Korea to avoid customs duty.
Polestar, which separated from Volvo and turned into an independent EV brand, pays 2.5%+25% customs duty when importing its vehicles produced in China to the USA. In order to get rid of this tax, the company signed a cooperation agreement with Renault.
Geely bought a 34% stake in Renault&#8217;s operations in South Korea with an investment of approximately $ 190 million last year. Under this partnership, the Polestar 4 model will be produced at Renault&#8217;s South Korean plant in 2025. Geely also owns Polestar.

The factory in Busan, previously known as Renault Samsung Motors, has an annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles. The cooperation will also allow Polestar to get rid of the tax burden brought by Chinese production. The cooperation will also increase the rapprochement of the Geely-Renault partnership.
The Polestar 4 offers 544 horsepower with dual engines, a 94 kWh battery, 560 km range, and 200 kW DC charging speed. The vehicle will be launched first in China in December and then in the US with customs duty. The starting price of 60 thousand dollars is expected to fall below 50 thousand dollars in 2025.

Renault And Polestar To Produce Electric Cars Together

Solid state cells produced by StoreDot will provide a range of 160 km with a five-minute charge, and begin testing with Polestar 5 in 2024. Mass production vehicles will be on the roads in 2027.
The solid-state battery, which promises great promise due to its double energy density, high-speed charging, and safety, has lost its advantage in charging speed and safety with the new generation lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Chinese battery giant CATL promises much better charging performance with its new generation non-solid-state LFP cathode ShenXing battery. Many mass-production vehicles that will reach 350 kW and beyond charging speeds and achieve a range of 400 kilometers in 10 minutes will be on sale in 2024.

The fact that the first solid-state batteries to be launched will provide a DC charging speed of around 350 kW questions the impact of this technology on the electric vehicle sector.
A very small portion of the total global battery investment of $860 billion is allocated to solid-state battery technology as of the end of 2022. (Atlas Public Policy)
Cooperating with Japanese Idemitsu Kosan for solid-state electrolyte production, Toyota announced that it has not yet developed a material suitable for mass production. The company is expected to start using the solid-state battery in low-volume electric vehicle projects in 2028.

What Is Happening In The Solid State Battery That Will Change The Electric Vehicle Industry?

Efficiency is key to designing a successful electric vehicle. And Tesla is acing it! Model Y and Model 3 are two of the most efficient vehicles on the market. It&#8217;s all thanks to Tesla&#8217;s advanced manufacturing technologies such as large die-casting machines used for the production of the chassis. To better understand Tesla&#8217;s weight advantage, we created a curb and gross weight information list for Tesla Model Y, Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Tesla Semi.
Tesla Model 3 is the most lightweight Tesla model available today. The RWD version of the electric sedan only weighs 3,880 lbs. In comparison, similarly sized Polestar 2&#8217;s curb weight is 4,680 lbs, way more than Tesla&#8217;s sedan.
Let&#8217;s take a look at the highly-popular Tesla Model Y. United States&#8217; best-selling electric SUV weighs only 4,381 lbs. Ford&#8217;s <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-rwd-standard-range">Mustang Mach-E</a> is not even close. Its lightest version weighs around 4,498 lbs.

18 Most Efficient Electric Cars, According to EPA | 2023 Ranking

Jaguar

Thierry Bolloré, the newly appointed head of Jaguar Land Rover. He has declared that starting in 2025, Jaguar will only produce electric vehicles.
Bolloré stated that JLR would leave the production of SUVs to the Land Rover brand starting in 2025. And that Jaguar would solely produce all-electric vehicles after that point.
It has been announced that Jaguar will utilize a distinct platform design, having left Land Rover to use the upcoming MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) platform for reconfigurable electronically controlled gasoline-powered vehicles and the EMA (Electric Modular Architecture).
This implies that the MLA platform-based upcoming Jaguar XJ saloon, which was supposed to debut in the year and go on the market in 2022, has already been dropped from the market. Bolloré declared, &#8220;XJ doesn&#8217;t really match with our prior to the transition.&#8221; &#8220;It was a difficult decision, even though it was a big decision,&#8221;
According to Bolloré, &#8220;We want the best of the best for the Jaguar platform. The determination with an all system would reflect on the design concept for the automobiles.
&#8220;We completely unrestricted the designers to create the most striking looks. Significant importance is placed on proportion, which will determine the platform.

<h2 class="polaris__heading">Seemingly Small EV Jaguar</h2>
When Bolloré joined Jaguar Land Rover, one of the ideas on the board was to create a new, tiny electric Jaguar SUV. The aim is to compete with the latest Polestar 2 and Tesla&#8217;s Model 3 and Model Y.
A compact Jaguar would indeed be fantastic; we really have to think about it though, said JLR&#8217;s director of engineering, Nick Rogers. The idea for compact, electrical Jaguars has already received backing from the top management.
Future Jaguars will undoubtedly pay homage to the past while still focusing on the future. &#8220;Jaguar automobiles of the earlier were of their time; they weren&#8217;t staring back, they were moving forward.

Polestar To Debut First Electric SUV In Last Quarter Of 2022

One of the biggest challenges of the EV industry is to provide longer ranges with a single charge. That’s why companies try to develop batteries that can be charged as fast as possible.
Polestar has officially announced that it will make its first financial investment in Israeli battery technology innovator, StoreDot.
StoreDot is the pioneer in manufacturing extreme fast charging (XFC) batteries that will overcome the range and charging anxiety of the EV industry. StoreDot&#8217;s strategic investors and partners include Daimler, BP, VinFast, Volvo, Ola Electric, Samsung, TDK, and the manufacturing partner EVE Energy.
<h2>Revolutionizing the battery architecture</h2>
Polestar CEO, Thomas Ingelath says that “Charging and range anxiety are common concerns holding owners of combustion engine cars back from making the switch to EVs. Store Dot’s advanced battery technology potentially provides real solutions to these obstacles.”
The company has revolutionized the conventional Li-ion battery and has been using two different techniques to produce XFC batteries.
The first technique of StoreDot is to replace the conventional graphite in the battery’s anode with silicon nanoparticles, synthesized together with proprietary small-molecule organic compounds. The Israeli company says that this mix overcomes the inherent challenges of the silicon such as its expansion during the charging cycles and the subsequent energy loss.
Secondly, the battery manufacturer company developed a hybrid-solid electrolyte, which creates a low-resistance flow of ions between the battery’s electrodes, increasing energy density.
<h2>StoreDot promises  100 miles range in under 5 mins</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-12057" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1024x643.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="471" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1024x643.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-300x188.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-768x482.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1536x965.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-2048x1286.jpeg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1568x985.jpeg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Through its ‘100inX’ product roadmap, StoreDot is confident that its batteries will deliver 160 km/100 miles of charge in five minutes by 2024, three minutes by 2028, and just two minutes by 2032. In other words, this will be the same time it takes to refuel a conventional combustion engine car.
With this partnership, StoreDot will adapt and apply its technology to the prototypes of Polestar’s EVs. If this pilot program becomes successful, the company will put its fast-charging batteries into Polestars by 2026.
StoreDot CEO, Dr. Doron Myersdorf, adds, “We are extremely excited to be entering into an agreement with Polestar, both as an investor and collaborator. Like us, Polestar is an extremely ambitious, innovative brand and is already proving to be pivotal in the mass adoption of electric vehicles, helping us move to a cleaner, zero-emissions world. We are looking forward to working together and we know that our technologies have huge potential to eradicate charging and range anxieties for future Polestar owners.”
