StoreDot is a developer of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for electric vehicles founded in 2012 by Doron Myersdorf, Simon Litsyn, and Gil Rosenman.
[1] The company started promoting its silicon-based electric vehicle battery in 2019, which it aimed to mass-manufacture in 2024[1] and deliver commercially in 2025.
[8] StoreDot was founded in 2012 by Doron Myersdorf, Simon Litsyn, and Gil Rosenman, initially developing displays and storage devices based on research by Ehud Gazit.
[1] StoreDot reported in 2014 to have developed organic-compound peptide-based smartphone batteries capable of being fully charged within 30 seconds.
[23] Science journalist John Timmer could not identify in 2021 any published research about the company's germanium battery technology.
[24] The company's CEO said the germanium batteries were only developed as proof-of-concept, were only meant to be sold in small quantities, and that they were never released because they weren't sufficiently differentiated from the rest of the market.
[1] Group14 Technologies has developed silicon nanoparticles called SCC55 which allow lithium-silicon batteries to charge from 10% to 80% state-of-charge in 10 minutes.
[26] The company announced in November 2021 that it aims to achieve mass-manufacturing in 2024 of its silicon batteries, having pouch-cell samples produced by its manufacturing partner EVE Energy sent to be tested by global car makers.
[5] The company's upcoming 2025 batteries are projected to have a peak charging rate of 350kW and a service life of 1000 fast-charging cycles.
