Soft Robotics Podcast
Marwa ElDiwiny
Hey! I am Marwa ElDiwiny, the host and creator of the Soft Robotics podcast. I started this podcast for a reason, one of them was to ask the questions I always wanted to ask when I was in the lab and reignite my curiosity by talking to interesting people. I found my purpose in this podcast, I hope it may inspire someone somehow along this journey!

Jagdeep Singh "QuantumScape's Solid-State Batteries for EVs"
Video format: https://youtu.be/1LXsFBaF1Ao
In this episode, I spoke with Jagdeep Singh, the CEO of QuantumScape. We spoke about the technology behind solid state batteries for EVs and how material science is crucial for finding the right solution for a not an easy problem.
One of the vital features for a solid state battery is charging as fast as Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles taking into account safety, cost, life cycle, the challenges of scaling up
Also about the competition and the criticism and vision of Quantum scape in the long run. I hope you enjoy the episode.
