In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicle (EV) technology, a new player is emerging as a formidable challenger to Tesla Inc.’s dominance. QuantumScape, a Silicon Valley-based startup, is revolutionizing the EV battery market with its cutting-edge solid-state batteries. The batteries are touted to have triple the energy density of Tesla’s lithium-ion cells, significantly faster charging times and a safer, more sustainable design. QuantumScape’s leap into the future is marked by its in
And can dissipate heat efficiently in the same package size. The limitation to lipo/life/li-ion package density isn’t cell volume. It’s cell volume plus heat removal overhead. Making the cells smaller doesn’t actually change anything about the cooling overhead.
