Donut Lab puts five minute charging solid state batteries on the road

Donut Lab has announced the world’s first all-solid-state battery ready for immediate use in OEM production vehicles, marking a significant advancement in electric mobility. Their high-performance solid-state Donut Battery is already powering 2026 Verge Motorcycles, including the Verge TS Pro and Verge TS Ultra, which will be available on roads starting Q1 2026. Unlike previous solid-state batteries confined to labs, Donut Lab’s technology offers an energy density of 400 Wh/kg, supports full charging in five minutes, and enables safe, repeated full discharges without degradation. The battery eliminates flammable liquid electrolytes, reducing thermal runaway risks, and boasts exceptional durability with up to 100,000 charge cycles and stable performance across a wide temperature range (–30°C to above 100°C) without capacity loss or ignition. Beyond performance, Donut Lab emphasizes the use of abundant, geopolitically safe materials, avoiding rare elements and reducing costs compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Its modular design allows customization
