A leader at one of #DonutLab’s key partners (#NordicNano) has filed a criminal complaint against the Donut, stating that the company has overstated its offering (I guess relating to their #solidStateBattery. Article behind paywall.

Die Spannung steigt 😉 Ob donut labs tatsächlich "liefert"?

Revolution mit neuer Festkörper-Batterie? Bisher liefert die offensive Marketing-Kampagne von Donut Lab aber mehr Fragen als Antworten.

Donut Lab visar återigen upp snabbladdningsförmågan, men denna gång är det inte VTT som utför testet.#donutlab #batterier #energi #solidstate #fordon
Batteripack med solid state-celler laddar 10–80 procent på tolv minuter -
🔋 Donut Lab ⚡PLOT TWIST: Das Elektrolyt sind salzige Kindertränen!!1!!

Looking forward to see the denial influencers how they justify these test results. Donut Lab just published a new test, high temperature charging and discharging at 80 Celsius, and yes 100 Celsius - that's 176 F and 212 F. A Lithium battery can only operate safely up to 70C! So all those saying "yeah its a Lithium battery!" try again. I'll get some popcorn.

Do or Donut: there is no battery.🍩
Recent analysis from Akkutohtori about the VTT test results for Donut Lab solid state battery + the ultimate scoop about "vibe physics" behind it, summarized into English slides via NotebookLM: https://slides.jukkan.com/deck/donut-lab-battery-forensic-akkutohtori/

Meanwhile Back at the #Donut Shop : #DonutLab is doing video PR to counter skepticism regarding their battery claims. First take was neutral. They have the right idea wrt giving folks more info. They’ve not released the clincher yet. That wouldn’t be hard if the thing is real. If it is real they’ve obviously got real reasons to be protective. If it isn’t…
same.
We have things in #Science like this all the time. Breakthroughs turn out to be duds. Or dust. Skeptics are usually made, not born -
The first third party test of the #DonutLab (claimed) #solidStateBattery are released. Done by VTT, it confirms that the battery is capable of very fast charging without active cooling.

Bei #donutlab gibt es erste reale Tests. Sehr sehr spannend. #idonutbelieve

Donut Lab delivered the first set of test results from VTT. Very promising. The Cells can Charge at 11C. If the other claims of Donut Lab are true aswell, it is so crazy. It would change the world.

So far, I haven't read nothing but skepticism about the extraordinary promises of #DonutLab and their new #solidstate #battery.
Even #derStandard (Austria) released an article that summarizes expert opinions on that: https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000309341/donut-lab-es-mehren-sich-zweifel-am-solid-state-wunderakku-aus-finnland
So it's either a remarkable #scam (more likely according to sources) or an interesting new technology. 🍿

Heard about #DonutLab yet? Me neither.
However, they released an amazing new #DonutMotor 2025 in multiple products and now they're releasing a new kind of #solidstatebattery #DonutBattery that may disrupt the whole market according to their promo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-aPS2AwMbc
- cheaper than #LiIon
- 50% weight or +100% capacity for same weight
- full charge in 5min
- no loss due to temperature
- more cycles than you will ever need
- no degradation over time due to fast #charging
- no problematic materials
- ...You "donut believe"? Well, they want to prove their point soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiOma6v_EZY
Now, they have my attention. 🍿

Za 3 dny Donut Lab zveřejní výsledky nezávislého měření jejich "revolučních" solid state baterií. Výsledky budou na webu https://idonutbelieve.com/
Měření provedla finská státní laboratoř VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd https://www.vttresearch.com/en/news-and-ideas/donut-lab-commissioned-vtt-carry-out-battery-measurements-support-its-product
Donut Lab stále tvrdí, že jde o průlom ve vývoji baterií, tak jsem opravdu zvědavý na výsledky.

Someone, presumably #DonutLab themselves (the company making big claims about a #solidStateBattery), has just launched this website:

Au fait, ces dernières 24h, j’ai peut-être accidentellement fait du journalisme sur Reddit. 😅
Je suis devenu obsédé par cette histoire de batterie de #DonutLab annoncée au CES (une batterie Solid-State qui changerait pas mal la donne).
Hier, sur le subreddit r/DonutLab… on a trouvé des trucs.
Un utilisateur a remarqué que plein d’autres boîtes parlaient de densités de batteries similaires. Nordic Nano Group, Holyvolt, Sama Energy… (1/4)

1/2 And Now Something Non - Apocalypse : #Batteries ! At #CES2026
#DonutLab announced the battery to end all batteries (oops). Performance and energy density off the charts. Production and scaling ready. Soon to be shipping in first products…and no publicly available testing data, independent or otherwise. Naturally folks are not ready to buy the bridge, the swamp and the used car all at the same time. The general take from Ima nerd and your not camp is this must be a #Supercapacitor … -
New information related to the #DonutLab #solidStateBattery saga. The #Verge #EV motorbike company, which is closely related to Donut Lab, has finances that are in such a mess that the auditor refused to sign the financial statement. Missing inventory management, sales receipts etc paint a picture of irregular business practises. A statement reads that the company's continuation depends on 'ongoing funding discussions', which currently 'lack commitments'.

Akuttaako?

Weekly output: FCC frees Verizon from phone-unlocking rule, Donut Lab’s solid-state battery, Wikipedia turns 25, Google traffic trends
This week brought a lot of unpleasant headlines, but none made me feel uneasy like the news that Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson was subjected to an unexpected visit by the FBI at her house Wednesday that concluded with investigators confiscating her work and personal laptops, her phone and her smartwatch–all seized, it now seems, on a fraudulent pretext. Since then, the man who spent his equivalent of pocket change to buy the Post in 2013 has said nothing about that in public, yet another way in which Jeff Bezos has shown himself an unworthy successor to Katharine Graham and her son Don Graham.
In addition to what you see below, I wrote a post for Patreon readers sharing bonus bits about what I learned at CES two weeks ago.
1/12/2026, FCC Unties Verizon From 60-Day Phone-Unlocking Rule, PCMag
Two days after the Federal Communications Commission granted Verizon’s wish, Verizon suffered an hours-long outage that people could work around relatively easily if their phones were unlocked to allow them to add a third-party eSIM.
1/15/2026: Wikipedia Is Now 25 Years Old [Citation Not Needed], PCMag
I had made a mental note to myself to write an essay about the free online encyclopedia hitting the quarter-century mark, but then the actual date snuck up on me. Fortunately, the lede and the headline basically wrote themselves.
1/17/2026: Donut Labs’ Solid-State Battery-Powered Motorcycle Turned Heads at CES, But Big Questions Remain, PCMag
Writing this left me feeling over my skis more than usual–I don’t cover battery technology in any great depth, this startup has disclosed almost nothing about the design of its solid-state batteries, and two outside analysts weren’t willing to assess their pitch. But reading up at length on this company and on others working on better EV batteries did make me realize one thing: There’s enough innovation happening here that we don’t need Donut’s invention to work.
1/17/2026: AI Is Still Hammering News Sites, Google Search and Social Referrals Plunge, PCMag
The brutal declines in Google search traffic reported in a study published Monday by the University of Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism caught my eyes and those of my editors, but I also found some news value in this report’s stats about which online platforms and technologies newsroom leaders plan to emphasize or back away from.

This “speculative exploration” is deeper than your average YouTube analysis:
