A new EV battery breakthrough just landed and the numbers are staggering.
One manufacturer says it has cracked the code on both speed and longevity.
The result? A battery that could last 600,000 miles while charging faster than ever.
And if it holds up, one of the biggest excuses for avoiding EVs might finally disappear.

How this EV battery hit 600,000 miles
The company behind the claim is StoreDot.
The team pushes ‘extreme fast charging’ as a reality, not a buzzword.
In their latest venture, scientists say they’ve unlocked a silicon-dominant anode that doesn’t crumble under pressure the way older designs did.
Traditional EV batteries lean on graphite, mostly because silicon, while able to hold 10 times more energy, expands and degrades fast.
That’s why your phone battery fades after a couple of years and why silicon-anode EVs have always been seen as a gamble.
StoreDot’s new cell claims to end that debate.
In lab tests it survived over 2,000 full consecutive charge cycles, from zero to 100 percent.
In real-world terms, that’s the equivalent of a 600,000-mile warranty – a figure that puts it toe-to-toe with the best graphite cells on the market.
Even better, the cell supports StoreDot’s commitment to extreme fast charging – around 100 miles of range in just five minutes.
That means fewer bathroom-break stops and more road under your tires.
“This is a monumental achievement. We’ve proven you can have both extreme fast charging and a long-lasting battery, making longevity concerns a thing of the past,” said Dr. David Lee, StoreDot’s Chief Science Officer.
This could be the push EV-hesitant motorists needed
If StoreDot can scale this tech, it changes the EV game.
Silicon is abundant, cheaper to source, and less damaging to mine than many battery metals.
Combine that with packs that last hundreds of thousands of miles, and suddenly the two biggest pain points – cost and range anxiety – start to fade.
The breakthrough also helps tackle charging times, another major barrier highlighted in AAA surveys.
Nobody loves the idea of sitting at a public charger for an hour.
A system that slashes that wait while surviving 600,000 miles could be the push hesitant drivers needed to go electric.
StoreDot says the chemistry is designed to slot straight into existing gigafactory lines, meaning no decade-long wait for new infrastructure.
Automakers are already in talks to bring it into future EV models.
A 600,000-mile battery doesn’t just mean fewer trips to the charger, it could mean the end of range anxiety altogether.
