The World's First EV Solid State Battery Holds Almost Double The Charge Of Some Tesla EVs
Key Points:
- Donut Lab unveiled the world's first production-ready solid state electric vehicle (EV) battery at CES 2026, offering faster charging, greater durability, higher energy density, improved safety, and lower production costs compared to current lithium-ion batteries.
- The new battery charges fully in five minutes, has an energy density of 400 Wh/kg—significantly surpassing Tesla's Model 3 and 4680 battery packs—and can last up to 100,000 charging cycles, far exceeding the typical 5,000 cycles of conventional batteries.
- Verge Motorcycles will be the first to use Donut Lab's solid state battery in its TS Pro electric bikes, boosting driving range from 217 miles to 370 miles per charge.
