The First Production All-Solid-State Battery Is Here, And It Promises 5-Minute Charging
Donut Lab claims it can build gigawatt-hours worth of solid-state batteries today without using any rare materials.

It’s finally happening, folks. The world’s first commercially available, production-ready all-solid-state battery is here, and it promises to revolutionize the electric vehicle world, from cars and motorcycles to big rigs and construction equipment. At least that’s what Donut Lab, the company that makes the battery, claims.

The startup, which is known for its sci-fi in-wheel electric motor that powers Verge’s electric motorcycles, claims the game-changing liquid-less battery cells and modules are available now at a gigawatt-hour level production capacity to companies worldwide. Verge Motorcycles said that its updated TS Pro two-wheeler will become the world’s first production all-solid-state-powered EV when it reaches customers in the first quarter of this year.
