Donut Lab’s solid-state battery shows fast charging in independent test

The first independent test of Donut Lab’s production-ready solid-state battery, conducted by Finland’s VTT, found it can charging from 0 to 80% in about 9.5 minutes (and roughly 4.5 minutes in another test) with minimal capacity loss, using passive cooling and high C-rates, suggesting charging speeds much faster than traditional lithium‑ion packs; however, the chemistry isn’t disclosed and dendrite-related issues aren’t addressed in this test, so more independent validation is needed.

Most Used EV Batteries Stay Above 95% Capacity, UK Study Finds

Most Used EV Batteries Stay Above 95% Capacity, UK Study Finds

A UK Generational study of more than 8,000 EVs tested in 2025 found an average battery health of about 95%, with degradation largely tied to age and usage rather than mileage. Even 8–12-year-old EVs can retain over 85% of their original capacity, though the spread widens with age. Extreme fast charging, deep discharges, and cold climates accelerate degradation. The findings suggest used EVs are generally healthier than feared and underline the need for independent battery-health testing to aid buyers and resale values.

Google Pixel 10A Delivers Fast Charging and Satellite SOS at Budget Price

Google’s Pixel 10A arrives at $499 (128GB) with the same 5,100 mAh battery and 48MP/13MP cameras as the 9A, but upgrades to a Tensor G4 and faster charging (30W wired with a 45W adapter, 10W wireless), while skipping PixelSnap magnets. It adds Satellite SOS and keeps Quick Share compatibility with AirDrop, retains a physical SIM slot, and features a brighter 6.3-inch display, seven years of software updates, and a March 5 sale date in four colors. A budget flagship aimed at competing with upcoming Samsung and Apple launches.

Ultra-Fast EV Charging Can Accelerate Battery Degradation, Study Finds

Ultra-Fast EV Charging Can Accelerate Battery Degradation, Study Finds

Geotab’s analysis of over 22,700 EVs shows that frequent charging at high-power stations (>100 kW) accelerates battery aging, with about 2.5% annual degradation for heavy use and 1.5% for lighter fast-charging; Level 2 charges degrade about half as fast. The overall average degradation is roughly 2.3% per year, with batteries settling around 1.4% per year after early capacity drops. While fast charging isn’t catastrophic and modern battery management helps, making Level 3 charging a habit will speed up capacity loss, so balance convenience with charging power.

Volvo's EX60 Advances EV Range With Tesla-Port Compatibility

Volvo unveils the EX60, its longest-range EV, built on the SPA3 platform with three battery options (80/91/112 kWh) delivering up to 400 miles of range. It offers a single-motor P6 (RWD) and dual-motor P10/P12 AWD variants, with 0–60 mph times from 5.7 to 3.8 seconds and up to 350–400 kW charging. A 10-minute top-up can add about 173 miles. The EX60 introduces a native NACS (Tesla) port for broad Supercharger access, with a Cross Country version featuring raised suspension. Built in Sweden, Europe orders are open now; U.S. deliveries begin late spring 2027, with Cross Country arriving in summer 2027.

Galaxy S26 base may get 45W charging, leak claims

A new leak from tipster Ahmed Qwaider claims Samsung's Galaxy S26 base model will upgrade to 45W fast charging (up from the S25's 25W) and pair with a 4,300mAh battery, with the S26+ also at 45W and the S26 Ultra at 60W; all three are said to support Qi2.2 charging, and, in most markets, the S26/S26+ will use Exynos 2600 (2nm) while the Ultra uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy (3nm).
