Volvo Cars has made an investment in StoreDot, an Israeli company developing extreme-fast charging battery technology for electric cars, through the Volvo Cars Tech Fund, its venture capital arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

StoreDot<\/a> is working on a pioneering technology that, according to the company, should result in batteries that can charge to 160km of pure electric range in just five minutes. The investment gives Volvo Cars the opportunity to collaborate closely with StoreDot on exciting new battery technology, as it aims to become a pure electric car company by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By working together with Volvo Cars, StoreDot aims to accelerate the time to market for its technology and it targets mass production by 2024. Volvo Cars is the first premium car maker to invest in StoreDot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration between both companies will mainly take place within the battery technology joint venture that Volvo Cars established last year with Northvolt, the Swedish leading battery maker. Through its investment in StoreDot, Volvo Cars has secured access to any resulting technology from the collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe aim to be the fastest transformer in our industry and the Tech Fund plays a crucial role in establishing partnerships with future technology leaders,\u201d said Alexander Petrofski, head of the Volvo Cars Tech Fund. \u201cOur investment in StoreDot perfectly fits that mindset and their commitment to electrification and carbon-free mobility matches our own. We\u2019re excited to make this a successful collaboration for both parties and work towards bringing this groundbreaking technology to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

StoreDot\u2019s pioneering battery development is centered around a unique silicon-dominant anode technology and related software integration. It aims to develop extreme-fast charging battery technology, which closely aligns with Volvo Cars\u2019 ambition to develop electric cars with a longer range, quicker charging and lower costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volvo Cars was the first established car maker to commit to all-out electrification and aims to sell only pure electric cars by 2030. Already by 2025, it aims for half of its global volume to consist of pure electric cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its joint venture with Northvolt, announced last year, will focus on both development and manufacturing of state-of-the-art battery cells, specifically developed and tailor-made for use in next generation pure electric Volvo and Polestar cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the approximately 30 billion SEK investment in the joint venture, both companies are establishing a joint R&D centre and a battery manufacturing plant in the Gothenburg area in Sweden. Together, the facilities will create over 3,000 new jobs and pave the way for Volvo Cars\u2019 ambitious electrification strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In coming years, Volvo Cars plans to roll out a whole new family of pure electric cars, one of the industry\u2019s most ambitious electrification plans. Its transition to all-out electrification is part of its ambition to become a climate neutral company by 2040, as it works to consistently cut carbon emissions across its business.<\/p>\n\n\n
