In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicle (EV) technology, a new player is emerging as a formidable challenger to Tesla Inc.’s dominance. QuantumScape, a Silicon Valley-based startup, is revolutionizing the EV battery market with its cutting-edge solid-state batteries. The batteries are touted to have triple the energy density of Tesla’s lithium-ion cells, significantly faster charging times and a safer, more sustainable design. QuantumScape’s leap into the future is marked by its in

    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.

      from what i understand, solid state batteries are legitimately about as revolutionary as lithium ion were because they are all of those things, and by their very nature they have a huge number of charge cycles

      … whether this specific announcement results in a mass-production-capable battery is another story
