Notton If it sounds too good to be true… Just take a look at the periodic table and it should be obvious. There's a reason the (Li) Lithium battery was a breakthrough, and now we're working on (H) Hydrogen and (Na) Sodium for applications that don't need to be as dense and light. Reply
Scott_Tx How many times do you have to see these scams not to be fooled by them? Would anyone like to invest in my free energy device? Reply

At least solid-state batteries appear to be coming. But not Donut's version of it. https://electrek.co/2026/06/08/donut-lab-solid-state-battery-exposed-lithium-ion-fraud/ My biggest concern now is that this damages public trust in solid-state battery technology more broadly. I hope it doesn’t cool people on the technology, because solid-state batteries do appear to be genuinely, finally coming. Toyota has invested over $15 billion and targets production vehicles by 2027-2028. Samsung SDI has the world’s largest pilot solid-state production line and plans mass production by 2027. These are real programs from companies with real technical credibility. Solid-state is coming — just not from Donut Lab, and not with the impossible combination of specs they promised. Reply
