Overview
- Donut Lab cites about 400 Wh/kg energy density and five‑minute full‑charge capability, with Verge specifying roughly 10‑minute fast charging in its first application.
- Leaders say cells are already being made in Finland with initial capacity near 1 GWh, with potential to expand manufacturing if demand grows.
- Durability claims diverge sharply, with Donut Lab asserting roughly 100,000 charge cycles versus Verge’s stated figure near 10,000.
- Thermal resilience is a key claim, including operation from −22°F to 212°F and reduced cooling needs, with one platform partner suggesting no active battery cooling.
- Verge’s TS Pro debuts with the solid‑state pack in two sizes (about 20.2 kWh and 33.3 kWh) and quoted ranges up to 350 km and 600 km, priced around €29,900 and targeting Q1 2026 deliveries.
