StoreDot, the developer of extreme fast charging (XFC) battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs) ( earlier post ), has developed a now-patented technology that gives EV batteries fixed capacity and driving range throughout their lifespan. Achieved through a combination of patented software and cell chemistry management, the technology gives an EV owner a fixed battery driving range for the duration of the battery’s useful service life, thus overcoming another aspect of range anxiety.

Based on Musk’s current holdings of about 170.5 million TSLA shares, a 10% sale of his stake in Tesla would be valued at about $21 billion. . Musk’s poll was triggered in part by recent conversations about billionaires’ unrealized gains being used as a means to avoid taxes.
