...GM...wow compare QS battery to Carbon Ion’s.......QS has much smaller SS but is trading over $100 a share w $3 billion market cap...(COUV guys market cap on,y $33 million!).....here is an article out a couple weeks ago on QS new battery coming out....

....the scary thing is lol: Carbon Ion’s carbon battery beats QS Lithium Ion battery by alot(!!)....and this article is rightfully giving QS props. ....but wait till Barrons hopefully one day does a COUV/Carbon Ion battery.....

....remember guys: Lithium Ion is the old battery tech.....and it requires hard to get rare earth elements which are hazardous and can catch fire: Carbon Ion is the NEW future battery tech......NO fire hazard and so green the batteries can be recycled......

Anyways...read the article on QS below......if COUV/Carbon Ion is coming out with basically ‘Lithium Ion 2.0’...making Lithium a dinosoaur, then what value do we put on it? Ten cents? $1? ...all i know is that would make it one day in the billions.....market cap...clearly to me if no one else:



DJ QuantumScape EV Batteries Can Be Charged Super Fast. Why That Matters. -- Barrons.com

By Al Root

Electric vehicle battery start-up QuantumScape can get its lithium metal solid-state batteries to 80% full in 15 minutes without compromising battery life or safety.
. (Carbon Ion have been shown to charge in 5 minutes, 100% full not 80% ....with again the ultimate X factor: 100% safe...see safety video above in Plus One stickies))

That's big. If QuantumScape's (ticker: QS) technology scales up, it means a typical EV with some charge left -- and with 200 or 300 miles of designed per charge range -- could pick up about 200 miles of driving range in under 15 minutes. That should be fast enough to alleviate much of the range anxiety consumers sometimes feel when thinking about purchasing a battery powered car.

Quantum released its data ahead of the company's "solid state battery showcase" which begins at 11 a.m. eastern time.

"Previous attempts to create a solid-state separator capable of working with lithium metal at high rates of power generally required compromising other aspects of the cell -- cycle life, operating temperature, safety, cathode loading, or excess lithium in the anode," reads the release.

In addition to the charge time, Quantum says its tested cells are capable of lasting hundreds of thousands of miles and "retained capacity of greater than 80% after 800 [charge/discharge] cycles."

"We believe that the performance data we've unveiled today shows that solid-state batteries have the potential to narrow the gap between electric vehicles and internal combustion vehicles," said CEO Jagdeep Singh in the company's news release. Quantum hopes its advances can help make EVs the dominant form of personal transportation.
