VW Solid-State Battery Retains 95% Capacity Over 1,000 Charge Cycles In Lab Testing

"In the automotive industry, companies shoot for no worse than a 20 percent capacity loss after 700 charging cycles. QuantumScape's solid-state cell blew these results out of the water, losing just five percent of total capacity by the end of a 1,000-cycle...there's no reason why an older EV couldn't be refurbished with a new age solid-state battery pack and continue to operate reliably for many more years."
