This output could equip approximately one million vehicles annually, addressing the escalating global demand for superior electric vehicle batteries. The partnership supersedes a previous joint venture between Volkswagen Group and QuantumScape. It combines QuantumScape's cutting-edge technology with PowerCo's expertise in industrialization and manufacturing, aiming to rapidly scale production to gigawatt-hour levels. A dedicated team of experts from both companies will drive the industrialization efforts. QuantumScape's technology features a proprietary solid-state ceramic separator, enabling the use of a pure lithium-metal anode. This innovation promises exceptional energy and power density, fast charging, and enhanced safety. "With this cooperation, we aim to bring the most sustainable and cutting-edge battery cells to our customers," stated Frank Blome, CEO of PowerCo.
