["QuantumScape Announces Agreement with Honda on Solid-State Battery Technology\n\nJune 18, 2026\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif. — June 18, 2026 — QuantumScape Corporation (NASDAQ: QS), a global leader in next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology, today announced a joint research agreement with Honda R&D Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., one of the world’s leading manufacturers of automobiles, motorcycles and power equipment, aimed at advancing the QS battery platform through the combined contributions and expertise of both parties. The joint program includes a multi-year plan focused on solid-state battery development and associated manufacturing processes.\n\nThe agreement follows Honda’s successful completion of a technology evaluation agreement with QS, which included an in-depth, hands-on technical study of QS’s solid-state technology platform as well as competitive benchmarking across a range of standard technical tests.\n\n“QS technology demonstrated compelling and unique advantages during our evaluation,” said Atsushi Ogawa, Chief Operating Officer, Research Center of Excellence, Honda R&D Co., Ltd. “We see potential for QS technology to add value across a range of applications, including automotive, and we are excited to move forward into the next phase of our partnership.”\n\n“Honda is a leading global automaker renowned for its engineering excellence and product quality across automotive and other applications worldwide, and its evaluation represents one of the most rigorous assessments of our technology to date,” said Dr. Siva Sivaram, CEO and President of QS. “This agreement reflects the growing confidence in QS solid-state lithium-metal batteries to enable safer, higher-density energy storage.”\n\n---\n\nQuantumScape Inaugurates Eagle Line for Solid-State Battery Pilot Production\n\nFebruary 4, 2026\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif. — February 4, 2026 — QuantumScape Corporation (NASDAQ: QS), a global leader in next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology, today celebrated the inauguration of its newly installed Eagle Line at its facility in San Jose. The event was attended by automotive OEM customers, QS ecosystem partners and government officials, and included a showcase tour of the Eagle Line.\n\nThe Eagle Line is a suite of equipment, materials and highly automated processes, forming the blueprint for production of QS technology. It incorporates QS’s groundbreaking Cobra process, a unique and highly scalable method for producing the proprietary QS separator.\n\nUpon ramp-up, the Eagle Line will produce QS battery cells to support customer sampling and testing, technology demonstrations, and product integration efforts. It is also intended to demonstrate scalable production of QS technology to enable licensing partners to manufacture at gigawatt-hour scale in their own facilities. In addition, the Eagle Line will serve as a platform to develop and test further technology and process improvements at meaningful scale, enabling QS’s advanced development efforts.\n\n“We’re proud to show the Eagle Line to the world for the first time,” said Dr. Siva Sivaram, president and CEO of QS. “The Eagle Line is a powerful platform to demonstrate scalable production of our solid-state technology and serve customer demand for better batteries. This is the next major step in the commercialization of our technology.”\n\n“The Eagle Line is a real technical achievement on the part of our team,” said Dr. Luca Fasoli, COO of QS. “After deploying the Cobra process, we rapidly moved to scale up our cell build process to increase output, scalability, automation and quality. I’m proud of the intense effort that went into making the Eagle Line a reality.”\n\n---\n\nQuantumScape and PowerCo Debut Solid-State Batteries in Ducati Motorcycle at IAA Mobility\n\nSeptember 8, 2025\n\nSAN JOSE, Calif. & Munich – September 8, 2025 – QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE: QS), a global leader in next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology, and PowerCo SE, the battery company of the Volkswagen Group, today premiered the world’s first live demonstration of QS solid-state lithium-metal batteries powering an electric vehicle. The breakthrough technology was showcased in a Ducati motorcycle equipped with QSE-5 battery cells, produced using the QS Cobra production process, during the Volkswagen Group’s press conference at IAA Mobility in Munich.\n\nThis demonstration represents a significant advancement in battery technology, showcasing the first anode-free solid-state batteries to move from laboratory discovery to real-world vehicle. QS’s revolutionary technology is ultimately aimed at meeting the EV industry’s long-standing need for batteries that excel in five critical battery performance metrics – energy density, charging speed, safety, lifespan and cost-effectiveness.\n\nThe world premiere took place at IAA Mobility, where a modified Ducati V21L race motorcycle powered by QS solid-state technology rode across the main stage during an address from Thomas Schmall, CEO of Volkswagen Group Components. The demonstration bike contains a first-of-its-kind battery system designed by specialists at VW Group-owned Audi specifically for QS solid-state battery cells, and highlights the potential capabilities of the technology on the racetrack. This will be a rigorous proving ground for QS technology, which has shown unique capabilities, including 844 Wh/L energy density, just over 12-minute fast charging from 10% to 80% state of charge, and 10C continuous discharge.\n\n“Today we’ve crossed the threshold from possibility to reality,” said Dr. Siva Sivaram, CEO and president of QS. “We believe that our partnership with PowerCo, together with Ducati as our demonstration launch partner, positions us to scale our transformative technology to gigawatt-hour production. Our world-leading battery innovation, combined with Ducati’s uncompromising craftsmanship and legendary commitment to performance, will help usher in a new era of electrified transportation.”\n\n“The EV revolution is the biggest transformation the automotive industry has ever seen,” said Frank Blome, CEO of PowerCo. “Solid-state batteries will redefine what’s possible for high-performance, premium vehicles, and today’s historic demonstration is just the beginning. We’re combining QuantumScape’s world class battery scientists with PowerCo’s manufacturing expertise to bring game-changing solid-state battery technology to the world as soon as possible.”"]
