Electric vehicles will require an altogether new sort of battery if they are ever to totally replace gas-guzzlers on the world’s roadways. QuantumScape researchers have created a new battery technology that can provide affordable, long-range electric vehicle rides in just four years.

The new technology allows the batteries (known as Solid-state lithium metal batteries) to have a higher capacity, recharge faster, and operate cooler than existing lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the batteries charge without degrading over time, which is a problem with lithium batteries.
One of the most significant scientific breakthroughs made by the QuantumScape team is the substitution of liquid in lithium-ion batteries with a metal strip that makes them safer and less prone to burning.
