Unveiled at CES 2026, the New Verge TS Pro Brings Solid-State Battery to a Production Model, with Ultra-Fast Charging, Greater Durability, and a Leap in Safety Over Lithium-Ion Batteries.
The CES 2026 has become the stage for an announcement that many in the industry considered “years away” from the market: a production electric motorcycle using solid-state battery. Verge Motorcycles claims to have taken the technology out of the laboratory and onto the road, promising a ten-minute charge and a range of up to 370 miles, about 595 km.
This move is considered a milestone because solid-state batteries, despite being tested by various manufacturers, rarely make it past the prototype stage. At CES 2026, Verge stated that it has crossed this boundary by implementing the package in a platform already ready for customers, with deliveries expected in the coming months.
What Verge Announced at CES 2026
According to the company, the new evolution of the Verge TS Pro is the first production platform to receive the solid-state battery package.

The heatwave in Brazil that hit in March is set to end as a cold front arrives between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, causing a temperature drop of up to 6 degrees and rain in the Central-South region, according to the Easter weather forecast.

The U.S. Army has introduced its first new lethal grenade since the Vietnam War: the M111 kills using pressure shock waves that bounce off walls and can explode the enemy’s lungs without producing a single shard.

Engineers are replacing pressure valves with hydraulic microturbines within drinking water networks and are generating up to 1,100 MWh per year with in-pipe hydropower technology that harnesses energy previously wasted in urban pipelines.

Elon Musk focused on Brazil and lowered the price of Starlink, his internet service, but the question remains: is it worth it? An expert provides a detailed analysis of the internet that promises to connect any part of Brazil.
The central promise is simple and aggressive: more range, more safety, and much faster charging.
Verge’s CEO, Tuomo Lehtimäki, described the adoption of solid-state batteries in production motorcycles as a historic advancement for electric mobility.
Verge claims it reached this point after working closely with Donut Lab, with testing and validation of the package.
Why Solid-State Batteries Change the Game
Solid-state batteries replace liquid or gel electrolytes with solid materials. The expected consequence is better energy density, longer lifespan, and significant safety gains compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
Verge positions this change as the core of the project and states that the package operates stably across different operating temperatures, while also not presenting the same fire risk associated with conventional batteries.
10-Minute Charging and Range Up to 595 km
Verge claims that ten minutes of charging can add up to 186 miles of range, equivalent to about 299 km.
This is one of the most eye-catching figures from the announcement made at CES 2026, as it brings the charging experience closer to a more “practical” use in everyday life.
The company also describes two range configurations: one option with a range of 217 miles and an extended option that reaches 370 miles, about 595 km on a single charge. Verge states that the improved battery does not change the price of the motorcycle.
The Donut 2.0 Motor and the DNA That Already Set Verge Apart
Verge has already stood out for its hubless wheel motor design. In the new TS Pro, the company claims to have combined this identity with a redesigned motor, the Donut 2.0, which weighs 50% less than its predecessor while maintaining the same power.
In numbers, Verge claims a torque of 1,000 Nm and acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds, aiming to combine performance and usability in the package presented at CES 2026.
The Impact Beyond Motorcycles and the Sustainability Argument
Donut Lab states that the technology is the result of years of development and is now ready to enter the electric mobility market at scale.
Verge and Donut Lab also suggest that the concept could extend beyond motorcycles, reaching cars, trucks, robotics, and stationary energy storage.
Another point raised is the use of materials considered more abundant, with the argument of reducing supply chain risks.
In practice, the message is that the solid-state battery would not just be “stronger,” but more viable in the long term.
Why CES 2026 Makes This Announcement a Turning Point
The relevance of the announcement at CES 2026 is not just in its technical specifications. It lies in what it signals to the market: if a smaller company can put solid-state into a production product, the pressure on the rest of the industry increases.
The message is clear: the next step for electric vehicles may be less about promise and more about delivery.
Do you believe that the solid-state battery presented at CES 2026 will quickly become the standard in electric vehicles, or will it remain restricted to expensive, niche models for many years?
Maravilhoso! Realmente uma tecnologia incrível. Tenho a convicção de que em pouco tempo teremos toda essa tecnologia acessível e isso Realmente é sensacional. Desejo boa sorte para todos aqueles que de alguma forma irão contribuir para a entrega dessas tecnologia para a sociedade. Parabéns.
Afirmação extraordinária, exige PROVA extraordinária.
Isso aí tá igual o matador de mosquitos chinês a laser que ninguém nunca viu pessoalmente, e essa suposta bateria tem características de capacitor, não de bateria.
