Israeli battery developer StoreDot has announced the official opening of its new Advanced Technology Campus in Irvine, California. The 5,800 square-foot facility will serve as StoreDotâs North American research and development hub, strengthening its presence in the region and enhancing collaboration with major automotive customers and manufacturing partners.
Dr. David Lee, Chief Scientific Officer and Head of the Advanced Technology Campus, expressed excitement about the new facility, stating, “We are excited to officially open our Advanced Technology Campus in the heart of Southern Californiaâs technology corridor, representing another major step towards commercializing our game-changing XFC battery technology.” He added, “This newly established facility allows us to tap into the incredible talent pool in the region while strengthening our ties with U.S. based automotive OEMs, suppliers and strategic partners. We are actively looking to grow our Irvine team to accelerate our breakthrough research in advanced battery materials and manufacturing processes for extreme fast charging of electric vehicles.”
StoreDot’s move to open the Advanced Technology Campus follows the opening of a research center in Irvine at the beginning of last year. The company has garnered significant support, with investments from Volvo, Polestar, Ola Electric from India, and a battery cooperation with Vietnamese company VinFast.
The new facility underscores StoreDot’s commitment to advancing battery technology and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles, particularly in North America. With its focus on extreme fast charging, StoreDot aims to revolutionize the electric vehicle industry and drive sustainable mobility solutions.
