      "text": "QuantumScape Corp. develops solid-state lithium-metal battery technology, primarily for electric vehicles, with a stated mission “to revolutionize energy storage to enable a sustainable future.” Its technology centers on a proprietary ceramic solid-state electrolyte separator; QSE-5 is its targeted first commercial battery product. Founded in 2010, the company remains focused on development, customer sampling, and scaling production rather than established commercial cell sales. [P18955128][P72627162][P142958035]\n\nThe company is headquartered in San Jose, California, where it has offices, research and engineering operations, and a pilot line. Its automotive customer and partner activity spans North America, Europe, and Japan, including work with Volkswagen’s PowerCo. QuantumScape reported approximately 700 employees at the end of 2025; in its latest available 2026 quarterly filing, it said its operating segment had not yet derived revenue from business activities.

      "text": "QuantumScape’s principal named cell product is QSE-5, a solid-state lithium-metal battery cell designed for automotive applications. It is anode-free as manufactured: lithium from the cathode forms the metal anode during the first charge. The company describes its cell format as combining pouch and prismatic features, with design considerations for lithium-metal expansion, heat dissipation during fast charging, operation with or without external pressure, and pack integration. Cell dimensions and layer count can vary with customer requirements. [P142958035][P142958045]\n\nIn 2026, QuantumScape reported QSE-5 B-sample energy density above 800 Wh/L and charging from 10% to 80% in under 15 minutes. The company’s 2024 B-sample results included 844 Wh/L, 301 Wh/kg and a 12.2-minute 10%–80% charge; these are prototype results, not a statement of commercial-scale performance. [P142958050][https://www.quantumscape.com/blog/a-first-look-at-the-qse-5-b-sample/]\n\nThe company has shipped QSE-5 prototype samples for customer testing and is developing the Eagle pilot line to support cell development, process work and customer sampling. Other application efforts include a Honda research and development agreement and demonstrations of QuantumScape cells in an electric motorcycle; these are development programs rather than separately specified commercial products. No marketed services or product-sales mix percentages were disclosed. The 2026 Q2 filing reported no revenue from business activities as of June 30, 2026.

      "text": "QuantumScape was founded in May 2010 by Jagdeep Singh, Tim Holme, and Stanford professor Fritz Prinz to develop solid-state battery technology. Volkswagen began working with the company in 2012, and in 2018 the two formed QSV, a 50/50 joint venture focused on commercialization and a U.S. pilot manufacturing facility. [P175180220][https://www.quantumscape.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/QS-Fact-Sheet-Nov-2020.pdf] [P175180320] [P175180323]\n\nIn 2020, QuantumScape completed a business combination with Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. and became publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker QS. The company reported progress validating early single-layer and smaller multilayer cells, while identifying scale-up as a continuing challenge. [P175180220] [P175180221] [P175180303]\n\nQuantumScape shipped its first A0 prototype cells to automotive manufacturers in 2022. In 2023 it announced QSE-5, its first targeted commercial product, and began low-volume production and customer testing of B-sample cells in 2024. That year, it also entered an agreement with Volkswagen’s battery company PowerCo to industrialize the technology, replacing the earlier joint-venture structure; Siva Sivaram became CEO, with Singh continuing as chairman. [P25057845] [P90501230] [P142958058] [https://www.quantumscape.com/quantumscape-appoints-dr-siva-sivaram-as-ceo-to-lead-next-phase-of-growth/]\n\nIn 2025, QuantumScape, Volkswagen, and PowerCo demonstrated a Ducati electric motorcycle using QSE-5 cells, and the company installed an automated pilot production line in San Jose. The line was inaugurated in February 2026, marking the start of its initial ramp-up.
