    European Startup's Ultra fast solid state Battery sparks controversy with China's Battery giant

    Sonut Lab claims a 400 Wh/kg solid state cell with 5 minute full charging and 100,000 cycle life, CATL calls these performance figures "physically impossible."

    European Startup's Ultra fast solid state Battery sparks controversy with China's Battery giant
    Areeb Khan

    It's clear ki electric car technology mein China ko fight dena impossible hai. China mein itne saare suppliers hai jo batteries ke design mein almost world leaders hai, electric motors se bhi zyada, because motors ka work to some extent other enggineers handle kar lete hai.


    Zero emission cars ka real dil energy system hi hota hai, or Chinese ye baat bilkul accept nahi kar paate ki koi European supplier unse ahead rahe, whether kisi bhi angle se kyun na ho.


    Baat ho rahi hai Finnish company Donut Lab ki. Ye company recently Las Vegas ke CES event me aaye the ek kaafi exciting new product ke saath.


    Ye company batteries ki specialist hai or kaafi years se solid -state technology par work kar rahi hai. Is tech ki wajah se batteries me ek proper next level jump aa sakta hai, especially energy density ke aspect me.


    Inka claim hai 400 Wh/kg, matlab more range offer karegi, sirf 5 mins me full charge, or sabse interesting part, ye battery 80% charging limit ko bypass kar deti hai. Basically, charging tension almost gone.

    Donut Lab's solid state battery is a flawless concept


    Donut Lab bol raha hai ki unki new solid state battery, jo iss year ke end tak Verge electric motorcycles mein lagni start ho jayegi, kaafi next level hai. Iski lifespan approx. 1 Lakh charge cycles tak ho sakti hai, or lithium-ion batteries ki tarah capacity loos almost nahi hota. From above inn solid state batteries mein internal protection system bhi hai, jo liquid electrolytes ko ignite hone se prevent karta hai.


    Is solid state battery ki itni perfection dekh ke Chinese company CATL kaafi angary hai. Unhone Donut par jhooth bolne ka allegation lagaya hai, features ki wajah se nahi, rather is claim ki wajah se ke ye solid state battery extreme temperatures mein bhi work karte hai. Means minus 30 degree se leke 100 degree se zyada tak, bina degrade hue ya dangerous dendrities banaye, jo usually battery fires ka reason hote hai.


    Satisfies na hote hue, Donut ye bhi claim kar raha hai ki uski solid state battery mein rare earth elements nahi hote, ye lithium-ion battery se cheaper hoti hai produce karne mein, or every type of vehicles ke saath adapt ho sakti hai, or isi baat ne Chinese ko or zyada gussa dila diya hai.


    A 1% capacity loss above 100º "activates" the Chinese


    Unko aise claims bilkul believable nahi lagte. Five minutes mein fully charge ho jaana or 1 lakh charge cycles ki life hona, Chinese ke according ye 'physically impossible' hai.


    Ye baat CATL ke investment director Ulderico ke statement se bhi clear hoti hai, jinhone apne LinkedIn par isse direct 'scam' bata diya, or bola ki industry ko aise outlandish claims ko ignore karna chahiye.


    Verge Motorcycle ne pehle hi confirm kar diya hai ki unki new Verge TS Pro electric bikes in the coming months mein isi battery ke saath aayengi. Ye bike sirf features ke numbers ke liye nahi, rather apni brutal performance ke liye bhi different dikhegi. Jaise ki ultra fast charging sirf 10 mins mein 300 km ki range ke liye charge ho jaati hai.
