2021: Battery form factor 4680

13 September 2021, Israeli startup StoreDot owned by a businessman, said Kenes Rakishev that he had created one battery for electric vehicles that could be charged in 10 minutes. Accumulator is made for standards batteries that are used for: 46 electric cars Tesla mm in diameter and 80 mm in height.

At the beginning of 2021, the company StoreDot introduced prototype batteries capable of providing the electric car with a range of 160 km. when charging the battery for 5 minutes. Batteries addressed to various potentially interested parties have been demonstrated. Bringing such batteries to market should take several years.

Now the battery of the form factor 4680 has been officially announced, capable of fully charging in 10 minutes. This is the standard used in Tesla cars.

The technology used in this project can be adapted for various batteries, including solutions for. smartphones The development took three years, and five were obtained on the underlying technologies. patents These solutions increase the rate of charge accumulation, as well as solve safety and performance problems, usually associated with the rigid structure of cylindrical cells in batteries.

Support for high-speed charging provides the use of organic and inorganic components in a lithium-ion battery. Instead of graphite, nanoparticles of metalloids like silicon are used in the anode, which allows you to increase safety, service life and prevents the effect of bloating cells, which can occur during fast charging.

"In addition to developing batteries for electric vehicles, StoreDot continues to work on fast battery charging technologies in space with NASA. Experiments on the ISS are already planned. The company received permission for them in May 2021, "- noted the owner of the company StoreDot Kenes Rakishev.

As of September 2021, StoreDot is engaged in the launch of production lines in China together with Eve Energy. The launch of mass production of StoreDot 4680, according to company estimates, is expected no earlier than 2024.
