StoreDot is expanding with the official opening of its first U.S. research facility in Irvine, California. The company says the new lab facility will be used to speed up StoreDot’s development of semi-solid battery technology and battery material research.
The U.S. team is headed by StoreDot’s Global Chief Science Officer Dr. David Lee, with plans to expand the company’s U.S.-based R&D expertise. Lee and his team will work in tandem with StoreDot’s Israel-based R&D headquarters, enabling it to scale up globally and remain firmly on track for its 100inX strategic technology roadmap. Announced last year, the roadmap will see the delivery of mass-produced battery cells capable of 100 miles of range in five minutes of charge by 2024, 100 miles in three minutes by 2028 and 100 miles in two minutes by 2032.
