Svolt CEO has declared this as scam based on that "if China cannot deliver solid state, neither can anyone else" 🤷

@suihkulokki OK but battery technology is still somewhat question mark, isn't it? I.e. only claims and rumours

@suihkulokki There's also quite known angel investors behind Donut Lab, such as founder of F-Secure, Risto Siilasmaa. This is weird.

@puhuri @suihkulokki @antti CEO of Verge seems excited tho at LinkedIn ;-) It's a weird combination of high-profile investors, one most likely legit company and a somewhat fuzzy startup. I'm waiting for the next episode...
