Multilayer Progress
4 Original Premises Behind the QuantumScape Opportunity
Combustion powertrains are being replaced by battery-electric powertrains
BEV share of global light vehicle market grew from ~3% in 2020 to -10% in 2022*
Anode-free lithium-metal technology can offer compelling benefits over conventional
lithium-ion batteries
QuantumScape has shown an architecture with the potential for greater energy density, and published data showing
the ability to charge 10-80% at 45 °C in ~15 minutes with a noncombustible separator
QuantumScape can scale up layer count while maintaining cycling performance
QuantumScape has successfully scaled up single-layer lab cells to multilayer prototype cells without significant
degradation to cycling performance (capacity retention)
QuantumScape can scale up production to industrial levels
Have demonstrated high throughput separator process
