In this feature, Dr Doron Myersdorf, CEO of StoreDot, explores how AI might just hold the key to solving these issues, and the potential of this approach for the future of energy storage and EVs. By 2030, it is expected that the total sales of electric vehicles (EV) worldwide will surpass 30 million, and the cost parameters will finally come in line with the internal combustion engine. The EV represents a seismic shift in the automotive industry, and its potential impact on business and the environment is compelling. Today, the debates about adoption and longevity of EVs is rife and none more so than the potential performance of EV batteries. For scientists, many challenges still remain - from battery safety, to energy density, charging capabilities, and their performance within a car.

Electric vehicles now comprise a substantial part of the automotive market. But the fact remains that despite the increasing number of charging stations, it is still inconvenient to charge a car in comparison to getting a tank full of gas. StoreDot, an Israeli startup, might have the solution to the woes of electric vehicle (EV) owners, with a new battery it claims can fully charge in five minutes and drive the EV 300 miles on a single charge. "Fast Charging is the critical missing link needed to make electric vehicles ubiquitous. The currently available battery technology dictates long charging times, which makes the EV form of transportation inadequate for the public at large. We're exploring options with a few strategic partners in the auto space to help us boost the production process in Asia and reach mass production as soon as possible," Doron Myersdorf, co-founder and CEO of StoreDot, said in the official press release Thursday.
