PowerCo’s Post

Solid-state lithium-ion batteries continue to make waves in the lithium-ion battery industry with the groundbreaking announcement last week between QuantumScape and PowerCo, Volkswagen Group's battery company, of which both have agreed to industrialize QuantumScape’s solid-state batteries for Volkswagen Group's electric vehicles. Under the agreement, PowerCo has a non-exclusive license to manufacture up to 40GWh per year using QuantumScape's technology, with an option to expand to 80 GWh. At full capacity, this agreement could provide batteries for approximately one million vehicles annually. The partnership involves a combined workforce initiative, with experts from both companies working together to accelerate the industrialisation of QuantumScape's technology. This agreement is seen as a major step in QuantumScape's global scale-up strategy and positions the company at the forefront of energy storage innovation. https://lnkd.in/ghZUFdy9 #lithium Disclaimer, GDC holds securities in QS

While the industry-standard targets for solid-state cells in this stage of development are 700 charging cycles and a maximum capacity loss of 20%, PowerCo states that QuantumScape’s solid-state cell blew past those expectations, confirming the developer’s own results outlined in its Q3 letter to shareholders. The energy-dense cells also met or exceeded other test criteria like fast-charging capabilities, safety, and self-discharge. PowerCo CEO Frank Blome spoke: These are very encouraging results that impressively underpin the potential of the solid-state cell. The final result of this development could be a battery cell that enables long ranges, can be charged super-quickly and practically does not age. We are convinced of the solid-state cell and are continuing to work at full speed with our partner QuantumScape towards series production.

Did you know..? This Sunday 18th of February is a BIG day for us: It's the International Battery Day! Celebrated on this day in honor of the inventor of the electric battery, Alessandro Volta, we thought a date as important as this one needed to be properly acknowledged; that's why we're starting the celebrations early with a new LinkedIn series, our very own #TechyThursdays! Watch out for these weekly posts where we'll review key aspects of the battery and the mobility industry as well as our technology: A full deal! Here's a sneak peek into what's coming next weeks: - Current battery technology (slide 4, but make it 2024). - The batteries' ABC: Differences between LFP and NMC. - A glimpse into the future: What are the alternatives to traditional Lithium-ion batteries? Keep an eye out for them! #internationalbatteryday #alessandrovolta #electricbattery #solidstatebatteries #energy

The green transition is presenting challenges for the industry, with bureaucracy slowing progress in Europe. However, this creates an opportunity for players outside of Europe to make their mark. At Italvolt, we're taking action by undergoing a massive shakeup in both location and technology for our venture. This will change the perception of gigafactories and future-proof the industry. Stay tuned for big news in the coming days! #ItalvoltUpdate #GreenTransition #Gigafactories #FutureProofing #batteries #ev #storage #electric European Commission
