The race to dominate the next generation of electric‑mobility batteries is entering a decisive phase. Recent information confirms that BMW will integrate solid‑state batteries developed with Samsung technology, capable of delivering driving ranges of up to 1,000 kilometers, a leap that reshapes expectations across the industry.

At the same time, the Finnish company Donut Lab has positioned itself as one of the first manufacturers to offer commercially available solid‑state batteries, which will be used by Verge Motorcycles in its TS Pro and Ultra models—an important milestone for the European sector.

According to the reports, BMW is moving toward integrating solid‑state batteries into its future electric vehicles.
These batteries, developed with the technological support of Samsung, promise:

• Higher energy density
• Improved safety
• Reduced long‑term degradation
• Driving ranges that could reach 1,000 km per charge

This technological leap positions BMW among the global leaders in electric‑vehicle autonomy.

Meanwhile, Verge Motorcycles becomes one of the first brands to incorporate solid‑state batteries already available on the market, manufactured by Donut Lab, the Finnish company in charge of its technology.

The TS Pro and Ultra models will integrate this technology, enabling:

• Increased range
• Improved thermal stability
• Reduced charging times
• Optimized overall electric performance

This move positions Verge as a pioneer in the commercial adoption of solid‑state battery technology.

To understand the magnitude of this shift, here is a clear comparison:

• Use a liquid electrolyte, which is flammable and temperature‑sensitive
• Have limited energy density
• Experience progressive degradation with charge cycles
• Require complex cooling systems
• Higher risk of overheating or thermal runaway

• Use a solid electrolyte, safer and more stable
• Offer higher energy density, enabling longer range
• Show less degradation, extending battery lifespan
• Perform better in extreme temperatures
• Allow more compact and efficient designs
• Potential for faster charging

In short: more range, more safety, and longer life.

The simultaneous announcements—BMW with Samsung, Verge with Donut Lab—show that the future of electric mobility is not driven by a single breakthrough but by a network of strategic collaborations.

Technology is advancing rapidly, but the real impact will depend on how these solutions integrate into everyday life, how infrastructure evolves, and how societies embrace a cleaner, more efficient, and more responsible mobility model.
