Donut Lab, Solid-state battery

Donut Labs Solid State Battery

This is pretty amazing. Lots of people are skeptical but if you were going to run some sort of elaborate scam, I think you'd give yourself a bit more runway than announcing it will actually ship (in a production motorcycle) Q1 of this year, or as they say, now? They have already shipped their revolutionary motor too, so I think they've earned some benefit of the doubt.

Solid-state batteries have been coming soon forever. Recently, lots of companies have appeared to be getting closer, but someone actually shipping right now is huge, and will start to change a lot of things.

Even as an enjoyer of combustion engines, I love Donut's mission: "Make combustion irrelevant". I get why people are skeptical, because the primoses are really big. If true, they will be well on their way to fullfiling their mission.

The announcement is here and there's an interesting YouTube video of it here.
