QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock is continuing to rally on Friday following an update from its latest earnings report.
That update focused on the company’s roadmap to new electric vehicle (EV) battery products. That includes plans for a commercial launch battery with a prospective launch customer. It also talked about the batteries’ capacity of more than 1,000 watt-hours per liter and the ability to charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.
One thing investors will note is that QuantumScape didn’t provide a hard timetable for when this battery will be ready to launch. Instead, it used vague statements like “as soon as possible.” That means traders will want to keep an eye on QS stock for more information about its battery project.
