What QuantumScape Corp does

In the company’s own words

QuantumScape Corporation (Nasdaq: QS) develops solid-state lithium-metal battery technology for electric vehicles and other potential applications. Its anode-free cells use a proprietary inorganic ceramic electrolyte-separator and are designed to provide high energy density, fast charging and enhanced safety. The company’s planned first product, the approximately 5 amp-hour QSE-5 cell, is in prototype development and customer testing; automotive manufacturers are its primary prospective customers, with Volkswagen subsidiary PowerCo collaborating on development and intended industrialization. QuantumScape also works with other automotive original equipment manufacturers on sampling, technology evaluation and joint development, and may commercialize its technology through licensing, manufacturing or joint ventures. It operates as a single business focused on battery technology development, cell production and manufacturing-process development rather than reporting multiple segments. Founded in 2010, the company has collaborated with Volkswagen since 2012. In 2025, it installed an automated pilot production line to support internal development, customer sampling and scale-up work. Its website is https://www.quantumscape.com/.
