30 Seconds Battery Charging startup StoreDot raises another $18 million
Israeli startup StoreDot that makes 30 Seconds Battery Charging using bioorganic technology, has raised another $18 million to help fund a new electric vehicle business unit.
The company raised $32 million just a year ago to refine its core FlashBattery technology, which it says will be able to recharge a smartphone in just seconds. This time the money will go toward developing a prototype battery for electric cars, with the aim of creating what it called the “first-ever instantly charging car prototype” by 2020.
It would cut the time for recharging a car from two to eight hours to just a few minutes, StoreDot claimed. Investors in the new round include Samsung Ventures, the venture-capital arm of the giant Korean company; Norma Investments, which is controlled by the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, and Moshe Hogeg’s Singulariteam VC fund.
