StoreDot signs strategic agreement with Flex|N|Gate to produce extreme fast charging battery cells for US EV market

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

StoreDot, the pioneer of extreme fast charging (XFC) #battery technology for electric vehicles, is today announcing that it has signed a strategic #partnership agreement with Flex|N|Gate, a leading global #automotive component manufacturer.

This landmark agreement will see both companies collaborate to sample and scale up the commercialization of StoreDot's game-changing extreme fast charging #batterycells for electric vehicles. Samples of StoreDot's 100in5 #batterycells will be produced next year at #flexngate Group's "Flex-lon" lithium-ion cell pilot factory in Windsor, Ontario while working with local #automotive OEMs to produce cells with specified performance and formats.

Amir Tirosh, #storedot COO "This is an exciting and significant agreement which further supports and enhances our path to OEM commercialization. Working with #flexngate, 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 localize its cell production. The collaboration allows us to serve the needs of local OEMs, building upon our recently established California R&D facility.

"Our 100in5 #batterycells are already being tested by electric vehicle manufacturers; this strategic agreement gives us ability to scale up rapidly to mass production and flexibility to produce OEM li-ion #batterycells at the scale and in the form factors required by this burgeoning industry. 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 #flexngate as we roll out the XFC revolution together."

Guido Benvenuto, #flexngate Vice President of Global Sales "We are honored and excited to collaborate with #storedot, an acknowledged innovation leader in the #ev #battery space. Producing extreme fast charging #batterycells 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. Early next year, cells will be produced at Flex-Ion's pilot plant in Windsor, Ontario, where we have established the capacity and flexibility to service the needs of the #automotive industry. This will be a significant and rewarding development as the Americas transition to electrified mobility."

StoreDot's commitment to innovation and collaboration is being demonstrated through its rapidly growing global network of strategic partnerships with investors, leading OEMs, and manufacturing partners. Global #automotive and #ev manufacturers like Daimler, Ola Electric, Polestar, VinFast, and Volvo Cars are already key strategic partners of the company.

Recently #storedot reported strong performance feedback for the evaluation and integration A-Samples testing phase of its XFC electric vehicle #batterycells. The comprehensive testing programs took place earlier this year by 15 leading global #automotive brand manufacturers from Europe, Asia, and the US, as well as several of StoreDot's strategic ecosystem partners, with many now moving onto B sample and cell integration programs.
