Polestar reports drivable EV with 10-minute 10-80% charging
Polestar has announced that prototype cells fitted to a version of its upcoming Polestar 5 flagship EV have been able to do a 10-80% charge in just 10 minutes.
Polestar said last year that it would place the tech in a prototype Polestar 5 gaining 100 miles in 5 minutes—this project—by 2024, and it appears to have exceeded the original target. In the drivable Polestar 5, fitted with a “specially commissioned” 77-kwh battery pack, the pack has demonstrated that charge rate.
With this project, Polestar fitted StoreDot’s “100-in-5” XFC cells into the prototype Polestar 5 via a prototype Polestar battery module. It claims to have charged the resulting pack at a starting charge rate of 310 kw and a peak of 370 kw.
