Investors have been concerned about slowing growth in electric vehicle (EV) sales. One reason is the lack of charging infrastructure. But battery maker Solid Power (NASDAQ: SLDP) is one of several companies that hopes to have a long-term solution.
Solid Power shares popped today after fellow solid-state battery maker QuantumScape (NYSE: QS) announced some game-changing news. As of 2:45 p.m. ET, Solid Power shares were higher by 11.2%.
That move was dwarfed, however, by the 47% spike in QuantumScape shares at that time. The stock was soaring after a battery unit of partner and potential customer Volkswagen Group said tests confirmed that the solid-state battery technology it is testing for QuantumScape achieved more than 1,000 charging cycles without losing virtually any charging capacity.
