Our Strategic Blueprint

I took on the CEO role last year because I see QuantumScape as the global leader in solid state battery technologies with an ability to revolutionize energy storage and create tremendous shareholder value in the process.

A First Look at the QSE-5 B Sample

QuantumScape’s planned first commercial product, QSE-5, is a ~5 amp-hour cell designed to meet the requirements of automotive applications. Here, we’ll walk through the various elements of the cell specifications and explain some of the complexities behind the seemingly simple metric of energy density.

Understanding Battery Safety

As lithium-ion batteries have become ubiquitous, their safety risks have increasingly been a focus of public concern.

Interpreting QuantumScape’s Safety Test Results

. In this blog article, we’ll look at battery safety testing and do a deep dive into a couple of key test results from energy-dense 24-layer QuantumScape prototype cells based on our Alpha-2 design.

EV Battery Cell Formats for Lithium Metal

You can find lithium-ion batteries in everything from electric vehicles to mobile phones. But, different applications have different requirements when it comes to the characteristics of the battery format, and EVs are a particularly challenging use case.
