## About

QuantumScape is on a mission to revolutionize energy storage and power a decarbonized future, focusing on transportation. Founded in 2010, the company aims to create advanced lithium-ion batteries that address key issues such as battery life, charging speed, and cost. Their patented solid ceramic electrolyte technology enables fast charging, long-lasting, and safer batteries, essential for zero-emissions transportation. QuantumScape's innovation simplifies battery design and manufacturing, making it fundamentally cheaper and safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries.

## Key facts

- **Projects:** ["QuantumScape and Volkswagen Sign Agreement to Select Location for Joint Venture Pilot-Line Facility\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS, or “QuantumScape”) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. to select the location of their joint-venture solid-state battery pilot-line facility by the end of 2021. The companies currently contemplate Salzgitter, Germany for the location.\n\nThe pilot-line facility, QS-1, will initially be a 1-gigawatt hour (GWh) battery cell commercial production plant for electric vehicle batteries. QuantumScape and Volkswagen intend to expand production capacity by a further 20 GWh at the same location.\n\n“Our goal has been to bring our solid-state lithium-metal batteries to market as soon as possible,” said Jagdeep Singh, CEO and co-founder of QuantumScape. “This joint venture brings together QuantumScape’s core battery technology with Volkswagen’s deep understanding of high-volume, high-quality production, and maximizes our ability to bring this technology into industrial production.”\n\nQS-1 will follow QS-0, QuantumScape’s planned pre-pilot line. In its Q1 Shareholder Letter, QuantumScape highlighted progress on that front as well, securing a facility in San Jose to house the QS-0 line. To fulfill the strong inbound interest in its technology, the company also recently announced it was doubling the initial QS-0 capacity to over 200,000 cells annually, enough for hundreds of test vehicles each year.\n\nIn March, QuantumScape announced an additional $100 million in funding from Volkswagen after Volkswagen confirmed through tests at its labs in Germany that QuantumScape cells met the established technical milestone.","QuantumScape Announces Completion of Key Annual Goal and Inauguration Event for Eagle Line\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif. — December 9, 2025 — QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS), a global leader in next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology, today announced it has completed installation of key equipment for higher-volume QSE-5 cell production in San Jose, accomplishing an important annual goal for 2025.\n\nThe Eagle Line is QS’s highly automated battery cell pilot production line, intended to serve as the foundation for future gigawatt-hour-scale production by QS’s technology licensing partners.\n\nTo commemorate the milestone, the company will hold an inauguration event for the Eagle Line at its headquarters in San Jose in February 2026. The event will include customer representatives, technology partners, and government officials and will feature a showcase tour of the Eagle Line.\n\n“Completing this annual goal and inaugurating the Eagle Line is a crucial step forward in our scale-up strategy,” said Dr. Siva Sivaram, CEO and president of QS. “The Eagle Line features our groundbreaking Cobra separator process combined with highly automated battery cell production. It is intended, upon ramp-up, to satisfy customer demand for QSE-5 cells and support future technology demonstrations.","QuantumScape and Fluence to Collaborate on Stationary Storage with Solid-State Lithium-Metal Technology\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS) and Fluence Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: FLNC) today announced a multi-year agreement to introduce solid-state lithium-metal battery technology to stationary energy storage applications. The strategic relationship brings together two companies leading in technology innovation focused on accelerating clean energy adoption and reducing global carbon emissions. The companies will collaborate on what they believe to be a first-of-its-kind solution to incorporate QuantumScape’s battery technology into Fluence stationary energy storage products as specific technical and commercial milestones are met.\n\nStationary energy storage installations are expected to grow by more than 2,000% from 2020 to 2030, representing a $385 billion global market opportunity. The transition to cleaner energy systems will require cost-effective technologies that increase energy reliability and grid resilience, and better manage demand to cover deficits and prevent power outages. As a leader in stationary storage, Fluence has consistently pioneered new applications for battery-based storage on the electric grid, from replacing natural gas peaker plants to enhancing transmission networks. QuantumScape’s solid-state lithium-metal technology has the potential to improve these solutions by offering higher energy density battery cells that can store more energy in less space than today’s leading lithium-ion batteries.\n\n“Fluence and QuantumScape share the same mission to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions through innovation and adoption of energy storage technologies, so our collaboration is a natural fit,” said Jagdeep Singh, co-founder and CEO of QuantumScape. “While we have historically focused on automotive applications, we believe our battery technology is broadly applicable and can play a role in other sectors contributing to a lower-carbon future.”"]
