Quoting the article, > The QuantumScape battery charges at blazing speeds, allowing a 0-80% charge in 15 minutes. It can retain more than 80% of its capacity a

  Note that it is extremely carefully worded. It retains 80% capacity after 800 cycles, but those cycles are not 15 minutes cycles! I am not making this up, QuantumScape themselves say this. If you check their presentation, 80% capacity after 800 cycles was measured at 1 hour cycles. Of course they don't highlight it, but it's there. Inquiring minds want to know what happens after 800 cycles of 15 minutes.

    1h so it's "fully charged" (which would be the normal best way to measure it in a standard way, full to deplete number of cycles) or 1h for that 80% capacity instead of those 15 min, effectively slow charging and not full cycles (which would def count as fudging the metrics or at least the headline on my book)?

      Effectively slow charging. Extremely sketchy in my opinion. They may not be technically lying, but they certainly intend to lead you to wrong conclusion.

  Haha, 482 km range. Very credible.
