The battle for great electric vehicle battery solutions continues. Several companies, whether small, medium or large, are working on optimal solutions to ensure and enhance the future of electric mobility. QuantumScape has taken a major step forward with the unveiling of its latest study.

The battery dilemma is difficult to explain and complicated to solve. The more charge and discharge cycles a battery provides, the more it wears out. The longer it takes to replenish energy, the faster its life decay accelerates. If you provide charges that take a long time to replenish power, the longer it will last, but that holding factor is not entirely pleasant.

QuantumScape has offered a technological study that promises hundreds of charge and discharge cycles in only 15 minutes, with no damage to the battery, according to the company acquired by Volkswagen for 85 million euros.

The company’s solid-state battery cells offer the power to regenerate energy from 10% to 80% in 15 minutes. The study successfully demonstrated that such a process was replicated 400 times consecutively. Taking the data to a real road vehicle with a range of 640 kilometers, it could execute fast recharges to provide about 256,000 kilometers of travel.

The solid electrolyte ceramic separation system offered by the company claims it can correct this problem, arguing that the technology currently employed on this section is sensitive, affecting battery performance and life.
