Go Finland, Go Europe! 🇪🇺💙

I want this to be true, but:
* They promise much higher watt-hours than existing batteries
* They promise ultra-fast charging
* Somehow there is no fire risk, despite holding even more energy
* No rare materials used; they won’t say what materials are used
* Mysteriously, “Donut Lab” brought this to market before all the other big names in battery tech who have deep experience and make huge investments in battery tech
It feels too good to be true.

Wow… if this is true… Europe has won the battery game.
Please let it be true. 👍🇪🇺

Donut Lab has previously partnered with a company called Nordic Nano Group, which has claimed to have made some breakthrough in manufacturing [graphene](https://www.graphene-info.com/graphene-batteries)-based batteries.
If they are not bullshitting then surely they’ll publicly show their results.

We will see. It is nice an EU company claims to be ready in this tech, and we should be ready to support them.. that said I would love to see independent testing and the production volume (proposed) is not world shattering. Plus it is a startup, so grain of salt on the scale, if not the performance as well. We have seen all too many promises on both fronts.
For a comparison CATL is about to start (2026) production of a solid state battery with a slightly higher energy density and longer lifetime at much larger production scale, and we know they can ship batteries. It is great however that the EU still has horses in this race.

Cool. Go EU tech.

All-Solid-State Battery or ASS Battery for short

I’m very skeptical (yet hopefull) of these clamis. Their platform and usecases are all lightweight (motorcycles, lightweigh cars) or auxiliary applications (smart trailers, rather than a truck), which makes me think that the tradeoff they are not disclosing is the power, not the capacity of these batteries, even if the energy density looks good.
If this is true, it would significantly limit the applications, but still have very interesting reach for bulk storage like house batteries, or (as other chiniese producers are doing) mixing these solid state with lithium batteries in cars, where lithium provides power, and solid state provides low power and bulk storage.

I wonder if these batteries can be charged the same way as current ones?
It would be horrible not to be able to use the current infrastructure for charging cars!

Thank god this wasn’t developed by a US company like Apple, they would literally put a 10x price just because..

We will see the real breakthrough used in military applications used 1st. Powering drones and stuff, 5 to 10 years later in commercial use.
