StoreDot, supplier of extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs), has announced a recent partnership with Flex|N|Gate, a global automotive component manufacturer.
The collaboration intends to scale up the commercialisation of StoreDot’s XFC battery cells for EVs. Increasing the efficiency of XFC in the North American market aims to decrease EV hesitation within the continent.
Samples of StoreDot’s 100in5 battery cells will be produced next year at Flex|N|Gate Group’s “Flex-lon” lithium-ion cell pilot factory in Windsor, Ontario.
Amir Tirosh, StoreDot COO, said:
“Working with Flex|N|Gate, a tier one manufacturer and global leader in mass-scale automotive component production, opens vast new opportunities for StoreDot in the North American market, including the ability to localise its cell production.
“Enabling owners to charge their cars safely in minutes is no longer an option, as range and charging anxiety remain the main barriers for mass EV adoption.
“We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Flex|N|Gate as we roll out the XFC revolution together.”
StoreDot has also made recent partnerships with multiple automotive and EV manufacturers like Daimler, Ola Electric, Polestar, VinFast, and Volvo Cars.
Guido Benvenuto, Flex|N|Gate Vice President of Global Sales, said:
“Producing extreme fast charging battery cells at giga-scale is a key competitive requirement in the electric vehicle industry. Applying our mass production manufacturing expertise to StoreDot’s cutting-edge technologies will create an ideal framework to establish world-class cell manufacturing facilities.
“This will be a significant and rewarding development as the Americas transition to electrified mobility.”
