Now, the European Commission is attempting to legislate a reversal of this decline. The upcoming Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), now delayed until February 25, is a document of profound anxiety. It’s a pivot toward protectionism that would have been unthinkable in Brussels…

In the first quarter of 2026, the global energy storage market is no longer a playground for visionaries... it is a graveyard for the undercapitalized. The data is rough. As of March 2025, QuantumScape (NYSE: QS) sat on $860 million in cash against a trailing twelve-month burn rate of $331 million. This 2.6-year window is the "valley of death" made manifest in a ledger.  While the early 2020s were fueled by the speculative highs of SPAC mergers and theoretical energy density, the 2026 market has pivoted to "Balance Sheet Engineering."
