QuantumScape Corp. (QS) surged 9.96% during intraday trading on Wednesday, fueled by the announcement of a joint development agreement (JDA) with a Top-10 global automaker. This marks a significant step in the company's commercialization efforts for its solid-state battery technology.
The JDA expands QuantumScape's commercial engagements, following similar agreements with PowerCo (Volkswagen Group) and partnerships with Murata Manufacturing and Corning for high-volume ceramic separator production. These collaborations underscore growing industry confidence in QuantumScape's next-generation battery platform.
The company has also made strides in real-world testing and manufacturing scalability, including the Cobra Separator technology, which has contributed to its 109% year-to-date stock performance. The latest JDA further solidifies its position in the evolving electric vehicle battery market.
