Donut Lab battery delivers ultrafast charging for Verge motorcycle
Auto
Donut Lab, a spin-off from Verge, has pulled off something pretty cool: its new solid-state battery charged the Verge TS Pro motorcycle from 10% to 50% in only five minutes, one of the fastest-charging electric motorcycles ever.
The 18-kWh battery pack kept up more than 100 kW charging power, which is seriously fast for this space.
Battery reaches 80% in 12 minutes
Working with Finland's VTT Technical Research Centre, Donut Lab showed the battery could hit an 80% charge in just 12 minutes using air cooling (not the usual liquid cooling).
Even when damaged or stressed during testing, it stayed stable (no fire risk or scary temperature spikes).
