Description: QS QuantumScape Common Stock January 08, 2026

QuantumScape Corp. (NYSE: QS) is a U.S.-based developer of solid-state lithium-metal batteries aimed at electric-vehicle (EV) applications, with its headquarters in San Jose, California, and a corporate lineage dating back to its 2010 founding.

Recent operational metrics include a pilot-line target of 30 GWh annual capacity by 2025, a partnership with Volkswagen that provides up to $100 million in milestone payments, and a cash burn rate of roughly $300 million per year, which underscores the capital-intensive nature of scaling solid-state technology. Macro-level drivers such as the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act EV tax credits and the broader shift toward higher-energy-density batteries in the automotive sector remain critical to QuantumScape’s commercial outlook.
