Overview
- Helsingin Sanomat reported that former Nordic Nano executive Lauri Peltola filed a criminal complaint in Finland accusing Donut Lab of misleading the public about energy density, durability, and production capacity.
- Donut Lab and manufacturing partner Nordic Nano denied wrongdoing, said the complainant lacked direct knowledge of the battery project, and promised more third‑party test results this spring with a goal of reaching “one gigawatt” of capacity this year.
- InsideEVs detailed the Verge TS Pro Gen2 pack as using 192 of Donut Lab’s 94 Wh cells in four stacked modules with heat‑transfer plates, side heat sinks, and small PC‑style fans that push air across the pack.
- Donut Lab says the motorcycle can peak near 100 kW on DC fast charging, going from 10% to 80% in about 11 minutes, which the company claims makes it the fastest‑charging bike.
- Reporters and outside experts note the company has not disclosed its cell chemistry, patents, or full validation of energy density and cycle life, and no independent tests of the production motorcycle have been published.
