    I feel like the author alludes to that with statements like “QuantumScape still has a lot of work to do before achieving viable, scaled production, but VW intends to continue its support” and using the word concept to describe it.

    I agree the title isn’t very clear but batteries with a 500000km lifespan is pretty impressive tech if it can be mass produced.

      Yes, but at this point the “new” battery articles are constant and nearly identical.

      They’re dressing up modest improvements touted by every other startup with obscured references lacking relevant comparisons and avoid explicitly mentioning that there is no commercial or scalable product.

      I don’t think more vague “nu-battery” articles are necessary unless something significant occurs, too many articles read like desperate advertisements for investors rather than informative journalism.
