Kilowatt 670 — Show Notes

In this episode, I share my experiences from CES, including the unexpected luxury of staying at Resorts World and the realities of recording from a hotel laundry room. I dive into one of the most exciting announcements at the show: the solid-state battery partnership between Donut Labs and Verge Motorcycles, a collaboration that could mark a major leap forward in EV technology. We explore the difference between semi-solid-state and true solid-state batteries, the technical challenges Donut Labs claims to have solved, and what this could mean for Verge’s first production motorcycle equipped with the new battery tech. Additional conversations with industry representatives at CES reinforce expectations for near-term deployment of these innovations. I wrap up by recapping the Daily Tech News Show meetup and reflecting on the value of connecting with the tech community.
