That article gave no reason for me to believe these claims. Also that website is horrible.

Lots of companies have been saying they have solid state EV batteries for years, yet you still can't buy one. Either they can't figure out how to mass produce them cost effectively or there is some sort of problem with the battery.

Tell me once it's on the market. Been reading about better battery technology for years, and nothing happens.

Wake me up when they’re being mass produced at cost effective rates.

Maybe we need to have a completely-bullshit-venture-capital-investor-bait-technology community.

LMAO They are going to win!

They beat Tesla with their own weapons: empty promises!

/s

So does this company actually HAVE a solid state battery or is this still all in concept?

Because we already know how amazing and good a solid state battery would be... When we finally get them. But the problem is actually getting them.

Unfortunately the article seems to be mostly talking about how good a solid state battery would be and not much at all on this startup actually having anything functional.

Great, I guess I will just go to a store a buy one of those .

Ah yes more "crushing" tech... High density and fast charging... Always means it's only good for like 100 charge cycles so it's effectively useless in reality.

QuantumScape has been expected to produce something for a long time now, it isn't new, the article didn't mention timelines or production.

They where supposed to go intro production mid this year / next

Till we see them rolling off the factory line it is just vapor .

Battery news have been so fake every time. I won’t believe any more battery tech news until I see an actual device or vehicle powered by one.

We know solid-state batteries are good, we want someone to produce stable solid-state batteries cost-effectively.

Yes, I'm going to base my investment on large scale technology on finance.yaoo.com, or better yet benzinga.com!! Especially after their exclusive on "Analyst Inside Look: Trends And Opportunities In Ohio's Emerging Recreational Cannabis Sector"

But this battery CRUSHES it! That's more than SLAMS!!!

First of all, their claims are not new. They claim this for a long time already but have not shown a minimal viable product yet. During the time they spend money in research, Tesla batteries grew to 3 times the originals.

QuantumScape have only shown minuscule batteries, they need to scale up to car battery capacity. Only a car with their battery can prove their claims. Until that happens their stories are worth nothing.

Charging a 75kWh large car battery in 15 minutes requires a charger of at least 300.000W. Imagine a charging station for 5 cars would need a 1.5MW power station. That is impractical. Also the current flowing into the car would be enormously high, requiring huge cables. Also inside the battery pack, huge cooling systems are required.

More practical solutions are exchanging battery packs or battery fluid exchange (flow battery). In short time 100% recharge and virtually unlimited range if packs are slowly charged at exchange hubs. .

QuantumScape will water down their claims and eventually publish a more or less standard LiFePo battery if the investors are lucky.

Is there any proof ? I've seen a single article. Nothing if substance. QS has been saying for years it will beat Tesla. Last earnings meeting had nothing to show. Was burning cash and keeping of research. That's wasn't too long ago.

Toyota said they are aiming for 2027 or 2028 with their solid state tech. I'm amped for when it comes but it's not really fair to compare potential 5-years-out tech with present day tech.
