<h1><strong>Kilowatt 670 — Show Notes</strong></h1><p>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&nbsp;<strong>Donut Labs</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Verge Motorcycles</strong>, 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.</p><h2></h2><h2><strong>Support the Show</strong></h2><p><a href="https://www.supportkilowatt.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.supportkilowatt.com/</a></p><p></p><h2><strong>Other Podcasts</strong></h2><ul><li>Beyond the Post YouTube&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@beyondthepostfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@beyondthepostfm</a></li><li>Beyond the Post Podcast&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beyondthepost.fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.beyondthepost.fm/</a></li><li>Shuffle Playlist&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://shows.acast.com/shuffle-playlist" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://shows.acast.com/shuffle-playlist</a></li><li>918Digital Website&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.918digital.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.918digital.com/</a></li></ul><p></p><p></p><h2><strong>News Links</strong></h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.jalopnik.com/2069983/verge-unveils-motorcycle-solid-state-batteries/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Donut Labs Solid-State Battery Overview (Jalopnik)</a></li><li><a href="https://interestingengineering.com/ces-2026/donut-lab-solid-state-battery-oem-verge-motorcycles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Donut Labs Solid-State Battery OEM Announcement for Verge Motorcycles (Interesting Engineering)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.batterytechonline.com/design-manufacturing/can-donut-lab-deliver-production-ready-solid-state-batteries-for-verge-motorcycles-in-q1-2026" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Industry Analysis: Can Donut Lab Deliver Production-Ready Solid-State Batteries?
