Donut Labs Today, Zeekr Tomorrow: The EV Shift No One Sees Coming!

On today’s Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we dive into the controversy surrounding the Donut Labs battery and ask the big question everyone is debating: Is it truly solid-state, or is it overhyped marketing bordering on a scam? We break down what solid-state really means, how it compares to current lithium-ion tech from CATL, BYD, and Tesla, and why battery terminology matters more than ever.We also unpack Ford’s announcement that autonomy will arrive with its affordable universal EV platform in 2027, while examining the very real struggles Ford and the broader industry have faced with EV profitability. GM isn’t alone in this pain, reporting a $1.7 billion EV loss last quarter and announcing another $6 billion write-off, while Jeep quietly canceled two plug-in models.At CES, one of the most under-the-radar stories came from Geely, the parent company of Zeekr, Volvo, Polestar, and Lynk & Co. With models like the Zeekr Z, 001, and 7X, plus their “Golden Brick” ultra-fast charging battery, we explore what it would mean if Zeekr begins U.S. production in South Carolina within 24–36 months—and how far behind U.S. automakers may be if current pullbacks continue.🔗 Check out our channels for more EV content:➡️ BowefamilyEV Verge / Donut Labs : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9tfyA2g-kc&t=1s➡️ Two Bit Da Vinci : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8PjlwZVLVE&list=WL&index=4&t=846s➡️ Ford CES : https://www.ces.tech/videos/driving-tomorrow-democratizing-the-future-of-software-defined-vehicle-technology/➡️ Donut Labs : https://youtu.be/Y-aPS2AwMbc?si=yjn5QAM9taHU4IjD➡️ Turn Down For Watt Episode where Ford Pivots :https://youtu.be/PVfCQDafxiQChapters:00:00 - Intro01:55 - Donut Labs Solid State Battery03:00 - Two Bit da Vinci07:30 - Ford at CES 11:40 - Hands off Eyes off L314:30 - Electric Viking18:54 - Wrap up🔑Keywords (comma separated)Donut Labs, Donut Battery, solid state battery, CATL, Tesla, BYD, Ford EVs, GM EV losses, Zeekr, Geely, CES 2026, EV battery technology, Golden Brick battery, fast charging EVs, affordable EV platform, autonomy 2027, 🔥 Hashtags#donutlab #electricvehicles #catl #Tesla #byd #ford #gm #zeekr #geely #ces #evs
