One of the industry’s most popular electric vehicle manufacturers has announced plans to “revolutionise” EV charging with a new agreement that will provide ultra-fast charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polestar, a Swedish electric vehicle company, will soon put extreme fast charging (XFC) technology into production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
StoreDot’s “100-in-5” technology will give 100 miles (160 kilometres) of charge in just five minutes of being plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new technology has the advantage of being able to be integrated into existing battery pack forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Israeli battery experts, this eliminates concerns about totally rebuilding the battery pack to ensure quick charging speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The XFC bag was unveiled during Polestar Day in Los Angeles, alongside Polestar’s prototype battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is envisaged that two businesses will be able to fully deploy fast charging capabilities in a Polestar 5 prototype next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Polestar 5, which has already been compared to the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S, is expected to be released as a production car in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will offer dual electric motors with up to 884 horsepower, a \u201ccompetitive\u201d electric driving range and will focus on environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Range anxiety is still a major concern for consumers considering moving to electric vehicles, especially with new concerns about the UK’s charging network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drivers may have more confidence in the vehicle’s range with the new “100-in-5” charging technology, as well as the knowledge that if they do need to refuel, it will take minutes rather than hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the most recent Zapmap data, there are 51,516 electric vehicle charging points in over 30,000 locations across the UK.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
