Shares of QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock are spiking higher following an announcement from Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY) battery subsidiary PowerCo.

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) has been teasing investors with the promise of solid-state batteries for years. The San Jose company said it was close to production last year. Then CEO Jagdeep Singh said improvements would be needed first. That message brought investors to QuantumScape from its founding in 2010. At one point, it was worth more than Ford Motor (NYSE:F) despite having no revenue. Both Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY) and Qatar have invested in it. But promises won’t work anymore. The Posse Is Coming Besides ...

There was plenty of euphoric excitement over all things electric vehicle (EV) a few years ago. Every investor wanted to find the next Tesla. One way to play that was to invest in a company that would support the overall growth of EVs, rather than trying to pick the next successful EV maker.

But much of that excitement was premature as the adoption of EVs and the development of new ...
