Investigating Donut Lab's Solid State Battery Surprise
YouTube Miss GoElectric ^ | January 14, 2026 | Miss GoElectric

Posted on 01/14/2026 6:55:06 PM PST by marktwain

A revolutionary solid state battery was publicized globally in January of 2026, but not shown in person. If the announcement is true, the world will be dramatically changed.

We interviewed the co-founder of Donut Labs, which made the announcement: • Donut Labs and Verge Motorcycles In Depth ...

We dug up as much information as we could, including a few bit we haven't seen anywhere else. We found a billionaire and some intellectual property which could explain the amazing properties of this battery. Heck, we even take a guess at a specific battery chemistry and manufacturing method which might fit into all of the requirements and recognizable circumstances.

We used SO MANY sources, that they wouldn't fit inside this video description. For that reason, we've made a shortcut to a massive PDF file with a rough version of the script featuring inline hyperlinks, a makeshift whitepaper and tons of other information about our speculated solid state battery design. Here is that PDF: ssb.missgoelecgtric.com

The conclusions are all iffy...but the sources should be helpful to those who are searching for more. Maybe we are all wrong and its some kind of supercapacitor which they've simply advertised wrongly. Maybe it is something different...or...worse yet...nothing at all.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Most of the discussion and the technical speculation is shown on the YouTube video. Looks like some pretty good investigative work. Stay skeptical, but it is looking very interesting.

My money is on vaporware, constructed with unobtanium.

I hope it is true. I doubt it greatly.

If I had a quarter for every new battery development about to revolutionize the world, I would be....well, not Elon, but I could afford a Tesla.

Here’s another quarter toward your new Tesla: I’ve read that one reason for the meteoric rise in the price of silver has to do with a new rechargeable battery developed by Samsung that uses a silver anode. The battery is designed for EVs and allegedly can provide a 600-mile range and takes only 9 minutes for a full recharge. We’ll see . . . as my mother used to say.

IF this new battery is:

Comparable in size and weight to existing batteries
Will charge in 5 minutes
200-mile range with headlights/heater on
Made using easily obtainable materials (few or no rare earths)
Not temperature sensitive (won't die in the cold or catch fire)
costs $1000 or less to produce (battery only, not the whole car)
Reliable for 100K cycles

That's a lot to ask, but it truly would revolutionize the auto industry if it can do all this. We'll see.
