VW to triple range of batteries

GreenOptimistic.com: Future Volkswagen electric vehicles, according to the company, are expected to triple in range, thanks to the development of a new lithium battery. 

Volkswagen’s recent investment in a little-known energy storage company in San Jose, California, QuantumScape, seems to solidify rumors that Volkswagen’s stumbled upon something big. The only thing is, we have no idea what. QuantumScape’s website is not helpful, as the screenshot above shows the entire website, so we’re still in the dark on what Volkswagen electric vehicles and QuantumScape have to do with each other, and what exactly QuantumScape is offering.
