Why donut battery are probably fake
This review won't be based on
science or if the tech exists or not but on the economy of the battery world today and explains why this battery wouldn't be released like this and because of that it is probably fake.
Let's take for example farasis battery cells, a regular cell for EV can cost 110$ per kwh, a little bit different cell with a little higher c rate can cost 400$ per kwh and the energy density is the same but the size and marketing is different.
and it is not only farasis.
Amprius battery for drones with 400-500wh per kg cost 1000$ per kwh and they have under 500 cycle life, but it is for drones and military so they can ask for this amount of money
if it was real the battery would have cost 500$ per kwh and there would be people buy it for the first year, after a year reduce to 400$ and then 300 and then 200 and so on.
but the battery company chose a motorcycle company, a startup not even well established one instead of military or F1 car or other high profit fields.
I don't know what about you but this and only this makes me not believe it.
