Meno di 1 minuto di lettura

Court: N.D. California

Case: 3:21-cv-00058

New Battery Advances Spark Rally
  • QuantumScape QS jumped 35% last week after revealing a breakthrough “Cobra” manufacturing process.
  • The company claims this advance could slash production costs and make its QSE-5 solid-state batteries — boasting faster charge times, higher energy density, and improved safety — commercially viable.
  • Volkswagen and Murata are backing the tech, though analysts remain cautious given QuantumScape’s ongoing cash burn and limited revenue.
  • Real-world testing is expected in 2026, and despite a recent pullback, QS is still up over 55% since April.
$47.5M Settlement Over Earlier Misstatements
  • At the same time, QuantumScape has agreed to a $47.5M settlement with investors.
  • The lawsuit alleged the company overstated the capabilities of its batteries in 2020.
  • After a critical article exposed flaws in charge time and durability, QS plummeted 40% in a single day in January 2021.
