Donut has released the first independent test results video from its solid-state validation program — and they’ve gone straight for one of the biggest pressure points in electric motorcycles: rapid charging.
Since their announcement of the Donut Battery, Donut Lab has taken a proper kicking. Scroll their socials — or ours — and you’ll see it: seasoned riders, early adopters, engineers, even OEM suits openly questioning whether this so-called solid-state breakthrough is the real deal or just another PowerPoint prototype. Today (20/02/26), Donut fired back.
We live in a world where new battery tech gets announced almost weekly. Big OEMs promise solid-state by 2030, while everyone else throws around terms that all sound suspiciously similar — semi-solid, quasi-solid, LiFePO₄. Well, today Donut Lab dropped something that isn’t “coming soon.” It’s here, it’s real, and already powering production vehicles.
