ONE’s LFP pack passes OEM gate review for DC Fast Charge milestone ⚡️ Earlier this year, we proved our Michigan-built LFP cell could DC Fast charge 70% of its capacity in 12 minutes and retain 95% SOH after 1000 consecutive tests. Now we’ve taken it further — integrating hundreds of these same cells into a full vehicle pack and returning 80% of a vehicle’s range in only 15 minutes (5% - 85%) during DC fast charging. This means 300 miles in 15 minutes for the specific OEM pack we are developing. ✅ Stable voltages ✅ Controlled temperatures ✅ Production-ready design This is more than a test — it’s proof that our next-gen LFP technology scales seamlessly from the lab to the road. #FastCharging #EVBattery #LFP #USManufacturing #BatteryInnovation #Future #Batteries #Energy Mujeeb Ijaz Deeana Ijaz, PhD Nathan Saliga Carl Sickles, MBA

Oldsmobile’s DOHC 455 V8 is one of the most intriguing “what could have been” stories in American automotive history. Developed in the late 1960s as an experimental performance engine, this dual overhead cam (DOHC) version of Oldsmobile’s standard 455 cubic inch V8 was intended to push the brand’s engineering boundaries and compete with the rising tide of high-revving, high-tech engines both domestically and abroad. It featured an aluminum intake, hemispherical combustion chambers, and twin overhead cams per bank—technology that was far ahead of its time for a pushrod-dominated American market. The engine was rumored to produce well over 500 horsepower in naturally aspirated form and even more in turbocharged or fuel-injected configurations tested in secret. It was also said to rev significantly higher than the traditional 455, thanks to the DOHC design, which allowed better breathing at high RPM. Despite its promise, the project was ultimately scrapped—largely due to cost, emissions regulations looming in the 1970s, and General Motors’ reluctance to deviate too far from its mainstream production strategies. Only a few prototypes of the DOHC 455 were ever built, and they remain mythical among muscle car enthusiasts and collectors. The engine stands as a symbol of the bold experimentation that briefly flourished in Detroit during the golden muscle car era—a tantalizing glimpse at what might have been if performance and innovation hadn’t been curtailed by external pressures.

China’s LFP Tech Restrictions: A Wake-Up Call for the Global Battery Market. The Power of NMC & Extreme Fast Charging (#XFC) The recent news of China restricting exports of advanced LFP and LMFP cathode technologies is a major signal in the global race for EV dominance. While LFP is celebrated for its cost and durability, this move highlights a critical vulnerability: dependence on a single source for key technology. This strategic shift underscores the importance of diversifying battery chemistries and innovating in other areas. This is where NMC batteries, especially when paired with cutting-edge technologies like StoreDot's Extreme Fast Charging (XFC), offer a powerful alternative. Why NMC + XFC is a game-changer: ⚡️ Extreme Fast Charging: Technologies like StoreDot's XFC leverage the inherent strengths of NMC chemistry to enable charging from 10% to 80% in as little as 10 minutes. This fundamentally changes the EV user experience, making "refueling" an EV as fast as filling up a gas tank. 🔋 Superior Energy Density: NMC batteries pack more energy into a smaller, lighter package. This is crucial for achieving longer driving ranges and for creating more efficient and higher-performance vehicles. 🚀 Unlocking Performance: Higher energy density and the ability to accept high-power charging enable faster acceleration and superior performance, a key differentiator for premium and high-end EVs. While LFP remains a vital part of the energy transition, China's export restrictions make it clear that innovation and independence are more critical than ever. The focus must now shift to building robust, local supply chains and leveraging the advantages of chemistries like NMC to create a truly global and resilient EV ecosystem. What are your thoughts on this development? Is a multi-chemistry approach the best path forward for the industry? #EV #ElectricVehicles #BatteryTech #NMC #LFP #FastCharging #StoreDot #XFC #SupplyChain #Innovation

I am proud to announce that @Kia Europe is conducting the first-ever public trial of a battery passport at a cellular level. Now, the status of each battery cell is monitored and is accessible via the infotainment system. Through this development, we can gain insights into what ownership benefits we can give our customers. For example, the battery passport includes additional safety-related data that goes beyond regulatory requirements. The biggest benefit are of course real-time insights in battery state of health on cell-level so customers can identify and address maintenance issues early. This can lead to extended battery life and reduce long-term costs. To expand Europe-wide, we initiated a research to identify the challenges and opportunities. On this quest, we are being supported by @Hyundai Mobis and @Hyundai Motor Group with the technical and backend integration. #Kia #MovementThatInspires #BatteryPassport

​𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚'𝐬 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ​𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐: ​Continuing my reflections on the groundbreaking work at the BIHAD... It's essential to understand the different Levels of Autonomous Driving as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers to truly appreciate the significance of what's happening here. ​Level 0 & 1: These are basic driver-support systems, like adaptive cruise control or lane-keeping assist, where the human driver is always in full control. ​Level 2: Partial Automation: A step up, where the vehicle can handle both steering and acceleration/braking simultaneously, but the driver must remain fully engaged and ready to take over. This is where many current "advanced driver assistance systems" on the market stand. ​Level 3: Conditional Automation: The system can handle all driving tasks under specific conditions, but it will prompt the driver to intervene if it encounters a situation it cannot handle. ​Level 4: High Automation: This is where BIHAD's primary focus lies. The vehicle can perform all driving tasks within a defined, "geofenced" operational design domain without any human supervision. The system is designed to handle all potential scenarios, and if it fails, it will execute a minimal risk maneuver to come to a safe stop. ​Level 5: Full Automation: The ultimate destination—a vehicle that can drive itself in any condition, anywhere, with no human input whatsoever. ​BIHAD's Role as a Living Laboratory is what makes it a global leader. It's a comprehensive platform designed to accelerate the research, development, and commercialization of Level 4 technology. By providing a real-world, controlled environment with its smart roads and integrated cloud-control system, BIHAD allows companies to rigorously test and validate their autonomous systems in complex urban scenarios like unprotected left turns, navigating roundabouts, and handling dynamic traffic. ​This vital hub also serves as a crucial regulatory sandbox, where new policies and legal frameworks for autonomous vehicles are being tested and refined in real time. Seeing vehicles operate at this high level of autonomy with no human driver ready to intervene was a powerful demonstration of how far this technology has come. ​Initially skeptical, my perspective shifted completely during the ride to the BIHAD headquarters. The autonomous car's unflinching precision in navigating every challenging urban scenario—from busy intersections to tight turns—transformed my doubt into genuine fascination. ​BIHAD is not just testing the future; it's actively shaping it, paving the way for safer, more efficient transportation and leaving me with immense optimism about the potential of autonomous mobility to transform our world. ​#AutonomousVehicles #FutureofMobility #Innovation #Technology #China #BIHAD #Level4Automation ​Stay tuned for Part 3, where we'll delve into the crucial topic of safety at the BIHAD.
