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
Wake me up when they’re being mass produced at cost effective rates.
And can dissipate heat efficiently in the same package size. The limitation to lipo/life/li-ion package density isn’t cell volume. It’s cell volume plus heat removal overhead. Making the cells smaller doesn’t actually change anything about the cooling overhead.
