Projects
["The QSE-5 is QuantumScape’s first planned commercial product. It’s designed to offer an unmatched combination of energy density, fast-charging, high power, and a safety profile superior to conventional lithium-ion batteries. We’re working together with partners in the automotive industry to bring this revolutionary technology platform into real-world electric vehicles as soon as possible.","Alpha-2 prototypes are a significant milestone on the roadmap to deliver QSE-5, QuantumScape’s first planned commercial product. QuantumScape entered the automotive qualification process in December 2022 after shipping A0 prototypes to customers. Alpha-2 prototypes integrate many of the company’s significant component improvements made over the last year. The six-layer Alpha-2 prototype is more energy-dense than the earlier 24-layer A0 prototype. This is primarily due to higher-loading cathodes (i.e., packed with more active material) and more efficient packaging that optimizes the materials and space within the cell. The packaging improvements include tighter internal margins, thinner current collectors, and a slimmer design, all of which are integral to the final product."]
