Episode Details

Finnish manufacturer Verge Motorcycles is launching the first production electric motorcycle equipped with solid-state battery technology. This engineering milestone, developed alongside Donut Lab, addresses traditional EV barriers by offering faster charging speeds and enhanced safety compared to standard lithium-ion packs. The updated Verge TS Pro features a signature hubless motor and is expected to reach customers by early 2026. While official claims highlight a maximum range of 600 kilometers and ten-minute rapid charging, some enthusiasts remain skeptical about real-world performance at highway speeds. Despite the high retail price, the company asserts that these batteries will last the vehicle’s entire lifespan without significant degradation. Ultimately, this release represents a major shift from experimental prototypes to commercially available advanced energy storage.If you find this podcast useful, you can support it here: https://buymeacoffee.com/emotorselectricrevolution.
