Isiseko sebhetri yeTesla Model S.Oleg Alexandrov / CC BY-SA / Wikimedia eqhelekileyo Ukuba kukho ishishini elinye (elingenguye okwi-intanethi) eliphumeleleyo kwi-2020 ngaphandle kwesiphithiphithi, sisiqalo sezithuthi zombane. (Nokuba banemveliso enokubakho okanye khange ibekho ecaleni kwenqaku.) I-QuantumScape, iBill Gates-back-up startup ephuhlisa iibhetri zesizukulwana esilandelayo se-EVs, ngokuqinisekileyo iphakathi kwesi siqhulo sombane.
Ngo-Novemba, iQuantumScape yaya esidlangalaleni ngokudityaniswa okuphindiweyo kunye necandelo elikhethekileyo lokuthenga laseKensington Capital kuqikelelo lwe-3.3 yezigidigidi zeedola. Ukusukela ngoko, ixabiso lesabelo salo liye lanyuka ngaphahla kophahla, latsiba ukusuka kwi-10 yeedola ukuqala kwintengiso ukuya kuthi ga ngaphezulu kwama-95 eedola xa kuvalwa ngoMvulo.
Olu xabiso alunangqondo kwaye alunasizathu, utshilo u-Ian Bezek, owayesakuba ngumhlalutyi we hedge fund obhalayo ngoku Indawo yoTyalomali.
Yintoni etyekele abatyali mali ekufumaneni isitokhwe senkampani esincinci yinjongo yayo enesibindi yokuthengisa ibhetri eqinileyo, imeko yebhetri ye-lithium-ion evelayo enesithembiso sokuba l ower iindleko zezithuthi zombane.
Iibhetri zaseburhulumenteni ezomeleleyo azinakutsha, zibiza ngokukhawuleza kwaye zine uxinano oluphezulu lwamandla (Ngoluhlu olude lokuqhuba) kuneebhetri ze-lithium-ion. Icala elisezantsi kuphela kukuba, ngetekhnoloji esele ikho, kuyabiza ukuyenza.
Bona kwakho: Ngaba u-Elon Musk unokunikezela ngeSithembiso esikhulu seBhetri? Abangaphakathi be-EV Balinganisa.
I-QuantumScape ichukumisa itekhnoloji yebhetri ye-lithium-metal enokutshintsha konke oko. Inkampani ithi iselfowuni yohlobo olunye lwengqekembe ibonakalise amandla okuhlaziya ibhetri ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-80 kwimizuzu eli-15 kwaye yenza ukuba imoto ihlale ikhulu lamawaka eekhilomitha nakumaqondo obushushu (njenge -22 degrees Fahrenheit).
Ngexesha le umboniso wevidiyo Ebutsheni bale nyanga, iQuantumScape ifumene isincomo esikhulu kwikhemesti ephumelele amabhaso kaNobel uStanley Whittingham, owathi itekhnoloji yokuqalisa ye-lithium-metal inokunyusa uxinizelelo lwamandla ebhetri ngeepesenti ezingama-50, ukuba ayinguye iipesenti ezili-100.
Kwaye uBill Gates, ongenguye usokhemisti nangayiphi na indlela kodwa, ngokwe-CEO ye-QuantumScape uJagdeep Singh, kubonakala ukuba ube yingcali ukusukela oko kutyalomali kule nkampani, ikwalapha ngokupheleleyo kulo mbono.
Khange ndicinge ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba unento ayaziyo malunga ne chemistry, kwaye sonke malunga ne chemistry. Kodwa xa ecinga ukuba into ibalulekile unokuntywila ngokunzulu kwaye abe yingcali kuloo ndawo. Ungene nzulu kule ndawo, uxelele uSingh Ithamsanqa kutshanje.
Okwangoku, akukho nto ibhaliweyo kwilitye okwangoku, ubuncinci kwicala lezemali. Ngokwayo Imephu yendlela yemveliso I-QuantumScape iya kuvavanya iibhetri ngo-2023. Ukuba uphumelele, umzi-mveliso uza kwakhiwa ngo-2024, kwaye uyathemba ukuba ingeniso ethe chu iya kuhamba kwiminyaka emibini emva koko. Kodwa abatyali-mali akufuneki balindele inzuzo kude kube ubuncinci ngo-2027.
Ibali elide elifutshane, kuya kufuneka ube nomonde kwinxalenye engcono yeshumi elizayo ngaphambi kokuba iQuantumScape iqale ukwenza imali enzulu, ubhale Indawo yoTyalomali ‘Bhezeki. Ungenzi mpazamo, i-QuantumScape yinto efanelekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, ixabiso lalo ngoku liyaphambana. Akukho ndlela nje yokwenza izibalo zisebenze.
I-QuantumScape ixhaswa nguBill Gates ' Ukuphumelela kwezaMandla oMbane , IVolkswagen, ingxowa-mali yobutyebi obuzimeleyo yaseQatar, iYunivesithi yaseStanford, umthengisi wezithuthi waseJamani kwilizwekazi kunye noluhlu lweefemu ze-Silicon Valley VC.
