 * Requirements exceeded: Solid-state battery from QuantumScape achieved more
   than 1,000 charging cycles with still more than 95 percent capacity.
   Depending on the model, an electric car could drive more than 500,000
   kilometers without any noticeable loss of range.
 * Performance confirmed: The battery tests were carried out in the laboratories
   of PowerCo SE, the battery company of the Volkswagen Group.
 * PowerCo CEO Frank Blome: "These are very encouraging test results and a
   milestone on the way to series production of the solid-state cell."



Wolfsburg. The solid-state cell is considered a technology of the future and the
next big step in battery development. The technology promises longer ranges,
shorter charging times and maximum safety. The U.S. company QuantumScape has
recently reached an important milestone, which was now confirmed by PowerCo: its
solid-state cell has significantly exceeded the requirements in the A-sample
test and successfully completed more than 1,000 charging cycles. For an electric
car with a WLTP range of 500-600 kilometres, this corresponds to a total mileage
of more than half a million kilometres. At the same time, the cell barely aged
and still had 95 percent of its capacity (or discharge energy retention) at the
end of the test. The tests, which ran for several months, were carried out in
PowerCo's battery laboratories in Salzgitter

PowerCo CEO Frank Blome: "These are very encouraging results that impressively
underpin the potential of the solid-state cell. The final result of this
development could be a battery cell that enables long ranges, can be charged
super-quickly and practically does not age. We are convinced of the solid-state
cell and are continuing to work at full speed with our partner QuantumScape
towards series production."

In the standardized test procedures for newly developed battery cells,
robustness is considered the most important criterion. The industry-standard
targets for this development phase are 700 charging cycles and a maximum
capacity loss of 20 percent. QuantumScape’s solid-state cell significantly
exceeded these specifications in the latest test. The cell was also able to meet
the requirements for other test criteria such as fast-charging capability,
safety and self-discharge. QuantumScape first reported on the results as part of
their Q3 2023 shareholder letter.

Commenting on the test results, Jagdeep Singh, Founder & CEO of QuantumScape,
said: "These results from the Volkswagen Group’s PowerCo testing make clear that
QuantumScape’s anodeless solid-state lithium-metal cells are capable of
exceptional performance. While we have more work to do to bring this technology
to market, we are not aware of any other automotive-format lithium-metal battery
that has shown such high discharge energy retention over a comparable cycle
count under similar conditions. We’re excited to be working closely with the
Volkswagen Group and PowerCo to industrialize this technology and bring it to
market as quickly as possible."

The tested solid-state cell consists of 24 layers and thus already corresponds
to the planned series cell. The next step on the way to series production is now
to perfect and scale the manufacturing processes. In principle, Volkswagen’s
unified cell concept developed by PowerCo is also suitable for the use of
solid-state cell technology. The Volkswagen Group has been involved in
QuantumScape since 2012 and is one of the main investors in the technology
start-up.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single
vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between
different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional
components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as
weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel
consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in
addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.
Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2
emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2
emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is
available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche
