Electric Invests in Israel’s StoreDot
/ Indian Express / 22
March 2022
Extract :
Ø Electric vehicle
maker Ola Electric has invested in an Israeli battery technology company StoreDot which the company
claims is a pioneer in batteries with extreme fast charging (XFC) technology.
Ø As part of the
investment, Ola Electric will have access to StoreDot’s XFC battery
technology that charges a battery from 0 to 100% in 5 minutes,
as claimed.
Ø Ola
will also have exclusive rights to manufacture batteries integrating StoreDot’s
fast charge technology in India. The investment in StoreDot, according to Ola,
is the first of several global strategic investments planned by Ola Electric to
ramp up its core R&D in advanced cell chemistry &
manufacturing as well as other battery technologies and new energy systems.
Ø To
note, the Softbank backed company has already submitted a bid under the
Government’s PLI scheme for Advanced Chemistry Cell Battery Storage. Ola
also has plans to set up a factory for manufacturing cells in India to meet the
demand generated by electric two-wheeler plant
Ø Bhavish
Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, Ola, said: “We are increasing our investments in
core cell and battery technologies and ramping up our in-house capabilities and
global talent hiring, as well as partnering with global companies doing cutting
edge work in this field. Our partnership with StoreDot is of strategic
importance and a first of many”.
Ø Ola
is not the only company which is investing heavily on ramping up the charging
ecosystem as electric vehicle sales in India is expected to increase manifold
in the coming years.
==================================================
MY TAKE :
Ø A
rapid implementation of StoreDot fast
charging technology will dramatically accelerate adoption of 2W / 3W electric
vehicles in India.
Ø It
will also accelerate rapid implementation of soon-to-be-announced, Battery Swapping Policy
Ø For
nearly 6 YEARS, I have been suggesting
( to our Cabinet Ministers / NITI Aayog etc ), adoption of StoreDot technology

WHAT IS THE BREAK-THROUGH NEEDED ?
# A " LOW COST " Charging Station that can fully charge an electric car in " 5
MINUTES "
- and at
Housing Society , where you live )
IS SUCH
TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE ?
The three-year old Israeli startup, named StoreDot, is working on a prototype
EV battery that can charge in as few as FIVE MINUTES , and provide 300
miles of driving range.
StoreDot’s “ FlashBattery ” technology is based on proprietary inorganic
compounds and a hybrid multifunction electrode (MFE) and promises a
theoretical “instant” charge for smart phones
and electric vehicles.
“If this chemistry works as we
show, there’s no reason we couldn’t charge a car in FIVE MINUTES ,”
says CEO / Founder of StoreDot ,
Doron Myersdorf.

[ 3 ] Too Late ? As always !................. 19 Sept 2017
Extract :
In my blog ( 21 April 2017 ) , I had suggested setting up at the Centre , a
Minister in charge of Technology Evaluation and Acquisition
In that blog ( sent as E Mail to Central Ministers ) , I had recommended
investigating / evaluating , some 11 / 12 technologies , which are under
development in different parts of the World and which could provide solutions
to some of our very pressing NATIONAL PROBLEMS
One of these listed by me was :
Rapid charging ( within 5 minutes ) Lithium Ion Batteries used in Electric Cars
( current batteries take 5 / 7 hours for full charging ! ) , under development
by an Israeli Start Up called “ StoreDot “
Unfortunately , in my email , I forgot to provide the following
address of StoreDot :
( StoreDot Ltd. I 3 Shenkar St. Herzeliya I Israel 4672503 /
Call Us: +972 3 5097710
Fax: +972 9 7677937 I Email: info@store-dot.com )
Today’s DNA ( 18 Sept )
carries a report titled :
“ Daimler enters super-fast
battery charging tech “
… and that’s why Daimler is investing in Israeli start up StoreDot , which is a
company working on ground breaking developments in electric vehicle battery
technology ….

[ 6 ] Every
Building : a Battery Charging Station ?................26 Oct 2018
Extract :
Manoj Bhargava ( Free Electric
/ BillionsinChange.com )
I am sure , given a challenge , he will come up with higher capacity Electric
Power Generating Bicycles which
, in turn
will charge the electric cars at night , parked in the
a Cooperative
Housing Society
Health-conscious Members of the Society , will be , more than happy to " pedal
" such bicycles , housed in the
from office !
What's more , each Member's " One Hour of Pedaling " will earn him , one car
recharge of 5 MINUTES !
Besides providing a " vastly economic ( free ? ) " car recharging solution , this
will improve the health !
More than one Solution [ 28 April 2017 ],
EACH HOME – A CHARGING STATION
Do not rule out Manoj Bhargava ( BillionsinChange ) coming out with his next
generation ( V 2.0 ) electricity generating bicycle to be able to re-charge such
small / quickly rechargeable batteries , right in your garage or housing society
compound !
PEDAL YOUR WAY TO HEALTH
As a part of a strategy to generate additional revenues , expect GYM owners to
install BillionsinChange bicycles replacing regular tread-mills – allowing any
stranger ( not a regular customer ) to generate electricity while improving
their health ! without paying
fees / subscription !

Quantum Technology To Make Charging Electric Cars As Fast as Pumping Gas [
SciTechDaily ]
[ 21 March 2022 ]
Extract :
To illustrate this, we will consider a typical electric vehicle with a battery that
contains about 200 cells. Employing this quantum charging would lead to a 200
times speedup over classical batteries, which means that at home charging time
would be cut from 10 hours to about 3 minutes. At high-speed charging stations,
the charge
time would be cut from 30 minutes
to mere seconds.

Indraprastha Gas opens Energy Cafe for e-vehicle battery swapping / ET / 19 March 2022
Extract :
The multi-platform intelligent system is
compatible with e-bike, e-auto and e-
rickshaws
It provides real-time feedback of battery location, and charging status to
users. The battery-box module of the system uses special Lithium-ion batteries,
each weighing 12-13 Kg
As per this concept, EVs can be sold without the Lithium-ion battery and owners
can get batteries on a “ pay per use “ system.
The cost of the EVs can thus be halved and brought below the price of cars or
two-wheelers with internal combustion engines
