StoreDot promises electric car that charges in 5 minutes
After developing the technology to recharge cellphones in seconds,
Israeli start-up sets its sight on the EV market

At last year’s Microsoft ThinkNext event in Tel Aviv, where new
technologies by several Israeli start-ups go on display and get their
“big break,” Dr. Doron Myersdorf, CEO of Israeli start-up StoreDot,
wowed the crowd by promising within a year to develop a technology that
could reduce the time needed to recharge cellphones from hours to
minutes.
At ThinkNext 2015 Tuesday in Tel Aviv, Myersdorf, fulfilled that
promise, displaying before a crowd of some 1,500 a phone as it recharged
from zero power to 100% charged in about two minutes.
And while he was doing that, Myersdorf made another promise: “Next year,
we will present a technology to recharge an electric car in five
minutes.”
“By using an array of 7,000 cells, we’ll take a car that has a zero
charge and recharge its batteries to 100% capacity. Then, while
ThinkNext is going on, we’ll send it on a trip to Beersheba and have it
come back at the end of the event,” Myersdorf said, to the cheers of an
enthusiastic crowd.
