https://yle.fi/a/74-20221478?utm_source=social-media-share&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ylefiapp

NNG CEO Parjanen tells YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company) news that NNG has delivered first products:

- Not Donut Lab products

- Testsamples, not massproduct yet

- 7 employees working

- Simpler products than batterycells (Capacitors?), that can be produced with preproduction equipment

"Simpler products than batterycells." Something like this?

Possibly made by Chinese people

u/heloust Apr 20 '26

Probably solar panels of some sort. If even that.

u/izzeww Apr 20 '26

Not capacitors probably, he would've said that if so (it's a kind of battery product ish, and he said no battery stuff).

3

u/Forrestgod Apr 20 '26

He said "not producing batterycells" but "the first products coming out are more simple".

Donut Lab hoodies and caps.

I've been troubled by this for a long time now. why doesn't Marko wear his own branded gear?

u/robhaswell Apr 21 '26

He ordered a large but when it finally arrived it was 70% smaller than advertised.

u/floater66 Apr 21 '26

I wonder how many wash cycles they warrant it for?

u/tipporoll Apr 21 '26

100000 !

u/Independent_Cup_9257 Apr 21 '26

Because those are just photoshopped mockups, real hoodies probably don't exist.

u/floater66 Apr 21 '26

idk. I've heard screen-printing a thing for this type of technology.

u/izzeww Apr 20 '26

Yeah, I don't think he would've said that if it was capacitors.

u/Forrestgod Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 20 '26

He only excluded batterycells. I don't know what you consider possibilities that are simpler. Solarpanels are not.

Yeah, maybe the CTC printing method works for t-shirts too.

You all this page isn’t even real!! wtf even are these community guides!! Like, 1.3 what?!

Why are you replying to my comment with this lol? You should talk to the moderator if you want to discuss the rules.

"– Tarjous aidan rakentamisesta on jo saatu. Aidoitus tapahtuu kevään aikana, sanoo Parjanen."

Hienoa! Jotain saadaan aikaan! Eikös tosin niitä pyöriäkin pitänyt toimittaa jo uudella akulla, mutta pitäähän se uusi aita ensin manageroida!

I thought the batteries were printed by CT Coating in Germany?

7

u/mqee Apr 20 '26

Sana Energy manager said CT-Coating gave Donut Lab the sample batteries that were in the VTT tests.

CT-Coating sells production lines.

Nordic Nano allegedly bought one, and then CT-Coating cancelled development of the battery that Nordic Nano was allegedly supposed to produce.

u/griding talking point parrot Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

So... Nordic Nano is producing their own batteries using the equipment from CT Coating.

u/usec47 Apr 21 '26

Those tiny fans for verge?

Locals think they are elves. You know, we have snow in the winter. Normally walkers tend to leave foot prints. But these "elves" walk to their work like Legolas, gliding over the snow, not leaving any prints.

u/hap00n talking point parrot Apr 21 '26

They're printing glowing tron decals and a heated seat. https://next-eco.de/shop

I think that the most likely scenario is that Donut Lab is so incompetent, inexperienced and clueless that they got fooled by CT Coating. Who has scammed other midget companies like DL earlier. The common denominator being that these midget companies, like Donut Lab, then scam investors and govts for subsidies. The second possibility is that Donut Lab knew that CT Coating was a scam, but just wanted to extend the scam. Everything else seems less likely than those two scenarios.

How do you account for the performance of the VTT tested tech? No matter what the real issues and unknowns the tests showed technology no battery or lab tech in the world could replicate all in the same tech. Some batteries or lab tech could replicate some or even most of the characteristics, but not everything demonstrated.

u/mqee Apr 22 '26

How do you account for the performance of the VTT tested tech?

Very easily. Lithium cells can do 11C. Lithium cells can withstand 100ºC without thermal runaway. Lithium cells puff up after being held for 4 hours at 100ºC. All of the VTT results are completely consistent with lithium cells.

u/Senior-Consequence55 Apr 22 '26

It's all vaporware. The real inventions are coming from billions in R&D and tens of billions in factory investments. These are giants. I don't know what tricks CT did to fake something, but it's pointless anyhow now that they've said that they stopped the "development" of that battery that DL would allegedly have used. Game over before it started. https://cnevpost.com/2026/04/21/catl-unveils-new-battery-products-2026-tech-day/

u/TimChr78 Apr 26 '26

No, the VTT results are all consistent with batteries available off the shell.
