Previous wording

We have demonstrated capabilities of our solid-state separator and battery technology in single-layer and multilayer cell cycling data, and in 2022, shipped our first A0 prototype battery cells to multiple original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for testing. Following that shipment, we continued focusing our research and development on subsequent generations of prototype samples incorporating advances in cell functionality, process and reliability, as well as bringing online our pilot line in San Jose, California. In 2023, we announced our first targeted commercial product, the QSE-5, a cell with a capacity of approximately 5 amp-hours. In 2024, we began producing low volumes of our first B-sample cells, and we began shipping these cells for automotive customer testing. These are B-samples of our first product, QSE-5, with an energy density of over 800 Wh/L and <15 minute 10% to 80% fast-charging capability. In 2025, together with Volkswagen and PowerCo, we had the first live demonstration of our solid-state lithium-metal battery technology powering a Ducati V21L electric motorcycle at the IAA Mobility event. The demonstration included B1 samples of our QSE-5 cell from our more efficient separator production processes. In 2025, we also installed our highly automated battery cell pilot production line at our facilities in San Jose, California to, upon ramp up, provide a sufficient quantity of separators and cells for internal development, customer sampling, and higher volumes of QSE-5 cells.

Continued improvement of the cathode. Our cathodes use a conventional cathode active material such as NMC mixed with a catholyte made of an organic liquid. We plan to benefit from industry cathode chemistry improvements and/or cost reduction, which in the future may include use of other cathode active materials, including cobalt-free compositions (e.g., LFP), as well as cathode processing advances such as dry electrode processing. Over the years, we have developed catholytes made of differing mixtures of organic liquid electrolyte in an effort to optimize performance across multiple metrics such as voltage, temperature, power, and safety, among others. We continue to test solid, gel and liquid catholytes from time to time in our cells. The solid catholyte is part of our ongoing research and development investigation into inorganic catholytes. Our solid-state cathode platform is being designed to enable higher rates of charge and discharge for even thicker cathode electrodes, which, when combined with a lithium-metal anode, may further increase cell energy densities.

Previous wording

We are currently focused on automotive EV applications, which have among the most stringent sets of requirements for batteries. Meanwhile, we see opportunities for our solid-state battery technology in other large and growing markets including consumer electronics, data centers, defense, and others and we intend to explore such opportunities as appropriate. The automotive qualification process generally includes several major delivery milestones of A, B and C samples. Each major sampling stage may consist of several generations of increasingly mature prototypes. The timelines for each stage involve uncertainty and will be influenced by a number of factors, including product and process development risks; the specification, ordering, and qualification of production equipment; other supply chain dynamics; and OEM validation timeframes.

In July 2024, we entered into the Collaboration Agreement with PowerCo (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with the goal of PowerCo industrializing QS technology based on QSE-5. PowerCo was formed by Volkswagen in 2022 as a company intended to consolidate Volkswagen’s activities in the development and production of battery cells. In connection with the Collaboration Agreement and subject to the completion of certain milestones, we and PowerCo intend to enter into the PowerCo IP License Agreement under which we will grant PowerCo a non-exclusive, limited, royalty-bearing license to use the QS technology based on QSE-5 for the purpose of manufacturing and selling batteries primarily for automotive applications, and PowerCo will pre-pay an initial royalty fee of $130 million, against which any future royalties due will be credited. The initial royalty is subject to a time-based diminishing clawback if the PowerCo IP License Agreement is terminated early by PowerCo under certain conditions. In July 2025, we entered into an amendment and restatement of the Collaboration Agreement (the “PowerCo Amendment”, together with the Collaboration Agreement, the “PowerCo Collaboration Agreement”), and entered into a statement of work outlining the scope and responsibilities of the joint scale-up team working at our battery development pilot line in San Jose, California for the development, validation, demonstration, and initial commercialization of QS battery cell technology based on QSE-5 and toward the transfer of such technology into cell size determined by PowerCo (the “Project”). PowerCo has agreed to contribute up to $130.7 million for the Project over the next two years, subject to the completion of certain milestones by the joint scale-up team.

Previous wording

To date, our research and development expenses have consisted primarily of personnel-related expenses for scientists, experienced engineers and technicians as well as costs associated with the construction and ramp up of our pilot line in San Jose, including the material and supplies to support the product development and process engineering efforts. As we ramp up our engineering operations to complete the development of our solid-state, lithium-metal batteries and required process engineering to meet automotive cost targets, we anticipate that research and development expenses will increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in additional plant and equipment for product development (e.g., multilayer cell stacking, packaging engineering), building prototypes, and testing of battery cells as our team works to meet the full set of automotive product requirements. We also recognize significant non-cash stock-based compensation to employees directly involved in research and development activities. For stock-based compensation awards with performance conditions, such as the restricted stock units with performance conditions (“PSUs”), the non-cash expense recognized is based on a probability assessment of the performance conditions, and as such, research and development expenses may fluctuate in the future as the performance conditions are re-assessed at each reporting period. For more information on the PSUs, see Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
