QuantumScape, which is doing some pioneering work in the solid-state battery space, has revealed that it has achieved its final target for 2021 ahead of schedule. The target was to achieve 800 charging cycles which is estimated to be around 3,86,00 km and the average for the car is 483 km per charge. Its 10-layer battery cell prototype retains more than 80 percent of initial capacity after 800 cycles, with 100 percent depth discharge at 1C-1C current at a temperature of 25 degrees at a pressure of 3.4 atmospheres.
“Quantumscape Corporation today released 10-layer battery cell test data showing an improved 800 cycles from one-hour charge rates at 25°C, achieving a target set for 2021. With this achievement, Quantumscape Now all milestones have been met. The results set at the beginning of the year confirm that the company has achieved the target, which is 10 capable of at least 800 cycles with over 80% energy retention The -layer cell was to demonstrate; a 1C-1C charge and discharge rate; at 25 °C, 3.4 atmospheres of pressure, and 100% depth of discharge,” the company said.
Volkswagen bets its success in EVs on the success of the QuantumScape
“We are delighted to share this data on 10-layer cell performance. It shows that we continue to successfully execute the objectives we set to enhance our technology and manufacturing efforts. These are unprecedented results, as ours We believe no other player has demonstrated equivalent performance with solid-state or lithium-metal battery technology,” said Quantumscape’s Jagdeep Singh, the company’s co-founder and CEO.
Earlier QuantumScape revealed that the prototype could maintain 80 percent retention with over 1000 cycles in a single layer. Now, this 800 cycle feat comes out to a 10 layer cell with a 2Ah capacity. Quantumscape has revealed that it is now fully focused on 2022 and 2023 as it moves closer to delivering customer prototypes. It is also building its QS-0 pre-pilot production line which was announced last year.
