"Among those start-ups Källenius referred to is StoreDot, which Daimler Trucks partnered with back in September of last year. The Tel Aviv-based company has developed a nanotechnology material for lithium ion that will eventually enable a commercial electric vehicle’s battery to charge from flat to full in five minutes, it says. Daimler has also entered a partnership with Solid Power, a Colorado-based start-up that is looking to develop and scale solid state battery tech. "
