A small company in Finland, Donutlabs, has developed the world's first production solid-state battery with a high energy density of 400 Wh/kg. Verge Motorcycles has incorporated these batteries into their motorcycles, allowing for up to 600 km of range and an 80% charge in less than 10 minutes. The batteries have a long cycle life, work in extreme temperatures, and are safe and cost-effective. This advancement in battery technology could lead to the end of combustion engines in various applications and accelerate the electrification of the world's energy, offering a promising solution to reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change.
