Shares of QuantumScape Corp. (NYSE: QS) soared as much as 31.56% on October 24, 2024, following the company's announcement of a significant achievement in developing its next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology.
In its third-quarter 2024 earnings release, QuantumScape revealed that it has begun producing and shipping low volumes of its first B-sample cells to automotive customers for testing.
