It's worth noting some other significant developments in the solid-state battery sector:

QuantumScape, a solid-state battery startup that emerged from Stanford University, went public on the NYSE in November 2020. The company introduced its 24-layer A0 prototype cells in 2022 and the QSE-5, a 5 amp-hour lithium metal cell, in early 2023. Volkswagen’s PowerCo confirmed that QuantumScape's A0 prototype met its performance metrics. QuantumScape's unique FlexFrame design, combining prismatic and pouch cell features, effectively manages cell expansion and contraction during cycling.

In addition, several other companies and initiatives are making strides in solid-state battery technology:
- Murata Manufacturing (2021): Mass production of small-capacity solid-state batteries for wearables, though not yet suitable for EVs.
- Toyota (2021): Plans to use solid-state batteries in hybrid models by 2025.
- ProLogium (2022): Signed a technical cooperation agreement with Mercedes-Benz for solid-state battery development.
- Swiss Clean Battery (2022): Announced plans to open the world's first sustainable solid-state battery factory in Switzerland by 2024.
- Svolt (2022): Produced a 20 Ah electric battery with 350-400 Wh/kg energy density.
- Maxell (2023): Began mass production of large-capacity solid-state batteries.
- Panasonic (2023): Unveiled a solid-state battery for drones, capable of rapid charging and long cycle life.
- Toyota and Idemitsu Kosan (2023): Partnership to produce solid-state batteries by 2028.
- Factorial Energy (2023): Opened a manufacturing facility and began shipping 100-Ah A-samples to automotive partners.
- Guangzhou Automobile Group (2023): Announced adoption of solid-state batteries in 2026, achieving 400 Wh/kg energy density.
- Hyundai (2023): Published a patent for a solid-state battery system with constant pressure maintenance.
- Volkswagen (2024): Announced prototype test results showing 95% capacity retention after 500,000 km.
