Polestar has revealed that a prototype version of its upcoming Polestar 5 model has managed to achieve a 10-to-80 per cent battery charge in just ten minutes, making it among the fastest charging electric vehicles outside of a laboratory.
Teaming up with battery experts StoreDot, Polestar has created what it refers to as extreme fast charging technology – or XFC for fans of abbreviation – that uses silicon-dominant cells to charge at blistering speeds without adverse effects on the battery health.
