About Quantumscape
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Quantumscape is based in San Jose, California and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker QS. The SEC classifies its business as miscellaneous electrical machinery, equipment & supplies. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported a net loss of $435.1m. At that date it held total assets of $1.31bn and shareholders' equity of $1.17bn.
QuantumScape is a leader in developing next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology for EVs and other applications. QuantumScape Battery Inc. was founded in 2010 with the mission to revolutionize energy storage to enable a sustainable future.
We are in the midst of a once-in-a-century shift in automotive powertrains, from ICE to clean EVs. After 30 years of gradual improvements in conventional lithium-ion batteries, the benefits of EVs have been demonstrated, principally in the premium passenger car market. However, there are fundamental limitations inhibiting widespread adoption of battery technology, and we believe the automotive market needs a step change in battery technology to make mass market EVs competitive with the fossil fuel alternative.
We have spent over a decade developing a proprietary solid-state battery technology to meet this challenge. QuantumScape’s solid-state lithium-metal battery technology is designed to offer greater energy density, faster charging, and enhanced safety when compared to today’s conventional lithium-ion batteries. We believe no other lithium-metal battery technology has demonstrated the capability of achieving automotive rates of power with acceptable battery cycle life at modest levels of pressure (approximately 3 to 4 atmospheres (“atm”)).
