Last year, BMW and Michigan startup Our Next Energy (ONE) announced a partnership to test the latter’s Gemini battery system with the goal of increasing the BMW iX’s all-electric range to 600 miles (966 km). The initial results are in, and the project … Continue reading Split-chemistry battery boosts BMW iX all-electric range to 608 miles
We’ve been covering the promise of five-minute EV charging technology from Israeli tech company StoreDot since a time when electric vehicles were more of an afterthought in the automotive market. Every time it seems like the tech is getting close to ready for real cars or products in the actual real world, things get pushed back or go quiet. But the company says its “100-in-5” batteries are on track for mass production readiness by 2025 and is now teaming with Polestar to present the first full-scale prototype using the extreme fast charging (XFC) battery tech. The Polestar 5 GT will be able to charge as fast as it looks.
