Description: QS Quantumscape November 05, 2025

QuantumScape Corp. (NYSE: QS) develops and aims to commercialize solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles and other applications, operating primarily in the United States. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Jose, California, the firm is classified under the Automotive Parts & Equipment sub-industry.

Key recent data points: (1) In Q2 2024 the company reported a cash burn of roughly $150 million, leaving a runway of about 12 months at current spending levels; (2) A strategic partnership with Volkswagen targets a pilot production line by 2026, with an interim goal of achieving a cell energy density of 500 Wh/kg; (3) Industry analysts cite the broader EV market’s projected CAGR of 22 % through 2030 and tightening lithium-ion supply chains as macro drivers that could accelerate demand for higher-performance solid-state solutions.
