Polestar 5 could be the fastest-charging EV yet

Polestar 5.

Polestar and StoreDot have today showcased new extreme fast charging technology that could make the EV charge in a fraction of the time of current models. This also promises that it won’t degrade the battery. 

One of the biggest frustrations for electric car owners is having to sit for up to an hour at fast chargers to refuel their vehicles. So, the idea of adding 100 miles of charge in just five minutes, should come as welcome news. StoreDot’s extreme fast charging technology (XFC) is dubbed 100-in-5 and could mean 10-80% of an EV battery in 10 minutes with a 350kW charger.
