QuantumScape has been working on solid state cell technology for some time and in recent times had claimed to have made important progress thanks to the use of a special ceramic electrolyte which also acts as a separator. The company is also financed by Volkswagen which therefore will be able to; take advantage of these new generation cells within its future new electric models. The two companies they would also be considering the construction of a production plant that could be built in the city & agrave; from Salzgitter, Germany.
Now, there are interesting news; coming soon regarding the development of QuantumScape solid state cells. The company & agrave; in a letter to the shareholders, on the occasion of the release of the economic data of the second quarter of 2021, he said that he had taken important steps forward in the realization of his pilot line and that he had started testing a new type of cell .
PROGRESS
According to what has been said, after having built and tested single-layer and 4-layer cells, the company is now working on 10-layer cells much more; complex. The interesting thing is; which have not only been built but also successfully tested. These are cells that have a dimension of 70 & times; 85 mm . QuantumScape makes it known that it has experimented with them at different speeds; charge and discharge at a temperature of 25 degrees and a pressure of 3.4 atmospheres.
Conditions that should simulate those to which they would be subjected inside the battery packs of electric cars. For the company this is an important success even if it is highlighted that will be needed many more; test to collect sufficient data to evaluate performance and reliability. In short, the premises are very positive. QuantumScape also adds that it plans to show these cells by the end of the year. Development will continue. until 2022. Thanks to the pilot plant, in 2023 the first cells will be produced that will be mounted on the cars for road tests.
Between 2024 and 2025 it will begin; the marketing of solid state cells for electric car batteries. Volkswagen will obviously be & agrave; at the forefront. Several companies are working on this technology that could take electric cars a major leap forward. QuantumScape & egrave; certainly one of the realities; more concrete aspects of this sector as it continues to constantly share updates of its progress .
All that remains is to follow the work of the company to see if it will succeed; to achieve its goals. In any case, even if the commercialization of solid state cells seems close, before this technology really arrives on production cars it will be necessary; further time given that many tests in real conditions by the car manufacturers will also be needed.
