StoreDot, a digital start-up based in Israel that is developing severe quick charging battery technology for electric vehicles, has teamed up with Circulor, a supplier traceability solutions company, to track the provenance and CO2 emissions of the raw materials used in its battery cells and manufacturing cells process in order to demonstrate responsible, sustainable, and ethical sourcing.
By developing cell technology capable of delivering 100 miles on a five-minute charge by 2024, the EV battery startup is working on faster charging times and increased reliability.
StoreDot states that, in addition to driving significantly larger electric vehicle demand through the greater range and shorter charge times, it is focusing its efforts on sustainable products, working with Circulor on creating transparent battery supply chains to provide full traceability for global automotive manufacturers and support them in meeting regulatory requirements.
The collaboration has already begun, with the two companies using Circulor’s traceability solution to track upstream battery material production and the associated embedded carbon emissions. This information will provide StoreDot with transparency, allowing the company to make such information available to EV OEM customers and regulators who require information on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts.
Furthermore, StoreDot has become an associate member of the German government’s ‘Battery Pass’ project, alongside Circular, which is a founding consortium member and leads the technology workstream. The two companies will continue to collaborate on the project in order to improve industry collaboration and prepare for the implementation of the EU Battery Regulation.
Dr. Doron Myersdorf, CEO of, StoreDot said “The environmental, social, and governance aspects of our XFC solution are a core value to StoreDot and its employees. It is essential that StoreDot offers its automotive OEM customers and investors full transparency of CO2 emissions, as well as the materials and components of our extremely fast charging ‘100in5’ battery cells. This will give our EV partners even more confidence in StoreDot as we move closer to mass-producing batteries.”
