QuantumScape Rockets on Solid-State Battery Breakthrough – Investors Thrilled But Cautious

QuantumScape Rockets on Solid-State Battery Breakthrough – Investors Thrilled But Cautious

Solid-State Breakthrough and B1 Cell Shipments QuantumScape (NYSE: QS) develops solid-state lithium-metal batteries – a next-gen design using a thin ceramic separator and a lithium-metal anode instead of traditional graphite. This allows much higher energy density and faster charging (while improving safety) compared to conventional Li‑ion cells carboncredits.com. In practice, QS demonstrated its technology at this year’s IAA Mobility show: a Ducati V21L electric race bike (VW/Audi/PowerCo collaboration) ran on QS’s QSE‑5 cells and achieved an astonishing ~844 Wh/L of energy density and a 10%→80% charge in only about 12 minutes ts2.tech. This real‑world demo “silenced some skeptics” and showed

QuantumScape 2025: Latest News, Solid-State Battery Breakthroughs, Financials & Outlook (June 27th, 2025)

QuantumScape Skyrockets 200% on Solid-State Battery Breakthrough – Revolution or Risk?

Solid-State Batteries: The Next Big Leap in EVs Solid-state batteries replace the liquid electrolyte of Li-ion cells with a solid ceramic or glass separator, promising big performance gains. They boost energy density (QS demo shows ~844 Wh/L vs. ~600 Wh/L for top Li-ion today) and could extend EV range to ~600 miles evmagazine.com. They also enable faster charging and vastly longer lifespans – some developers claim 10–15 minute 10–80% charges and 8,000–10,000 charge cycles evmagazine.com. Crucially, a solid electrolyte is non-flammable, enhancing safety over liquid batteries. These advantages could “revolutionize” EVs if scaled. However, mass production is a bottleneck: manufacturing solid electrolytes and achieving

Solid-State Batteries: The Game-Changer Powering a New Battery Revolution in 2025

Solid-State Batteries: The Game-Changer Powering a New Battery Revolution in 2025

Solid-state batteries replace the liquid electrolyte with a solid electrolyte, often a ceramic, glass, or solid polymer, and many designs use lithium metal anodes. Prototype solid-state cells have demonstrated energy densities of about 300–450 Wh/kg, with Mercedes-Benz and Factorial reporting roughly 450 Wh/kg. Toyota claims its solid-state EV batteries will charge from 10% to 80% in roughly 10 minutes. Solid-state batteries use non-flammable solid electrolytes, drastically reducing fire risk and leakage compared with liquid electrolytes. Volkswagen reported a solid-state prototype that retained 95% of its capacity after 1,000 charge cycles (about 500,000 km). In 2025, solid-state production costs are around
