This battery is about to change the world in 3 months, or make this guy a fool
Donut Lab lit the EV and energy storage industry on fire last week with its announcement of a 400 Wh/kg solid-state battery cell that can last for 100 years. At face value, if true, we are looking at the single most disruptive announcement in the history of the electric vehicle industry and energy storage as a whole.
We aren’t just talking about a better motorcycle battery. If the claims of a 5-minute charge, 100,000-cycle life, and ~400 Wh/kg energy density are accurate and scalable, as Donut Lab claims, this is the holy grail of energy storage.
Battery breakthrough announcements generally don’t catch fire like this, but Donut Lab’s did because it said that the cell was already in production and will be in a production vehicle, Verge’s electric motorcycle, this quarter. It gave credibility to the claim, pushing everyone to report on it.
Now, we have interviewed Donut Lab’s CEO and investigated the technology. At this point, it looks like either this battery changes the world within the next 3 months, or it will make the CEO look like a fool. In this article, we discuss the impact of the battery, whether real or not, as well as clues about the secret sauce behind its chemistry.

Most of the focus for the Twitter CSAM issue has been on Evan Solomon because of his role as Minister of AI, but has anyone in the media tried to get a comment out of the Attorney General, Sean Fraser? Surely some of this content is already illegal; is the Department of Justice doing anything?

I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday
Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets
34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs
3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

I stopped interacting on the other site a year and a half ago. I knew then it was the right decision, multiple events in the past week have strongly served to reinforce that. Unfortunately, it’s usually very easy to see who uses the other place as their primary source for news and information.
