The most important factor is probably that reducing the charging time to a comparable level of refueling a car might expand the EV market, because there are still many people concerned about range and charging, especially without a private home charging spot.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22586164%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22ABB%20And%20Shell%20Announce%20Nationwide%20Deployment%20Of%20360%20kW%20Chargers%20In%20Germany%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22abb-shell-nationwide-deployment-360kw-chargers-germany%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FOoo2lM%2Fs5%2Fabb-and-shell-to-launch-first-nationwide-network-of-world-s-fastest-ev-charger-in-germany.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22585263%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22FreeWire%20Introduces%20Its%20Most%20Powerful%20and%20Flexible%20EV%20Charger%3A%20Boost%20Charger%20200%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22freewire-boost-charger-200-flexible%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FRqqY8r%2Fs5%2Ffreewire-boost-charger-200.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polestar announced that it has made its first financial investment in another company &#8211;\u00a0 StoreDot, an Israel-based start-up engaged in the development of silicon-dominant extreme fast-charging batteries.
