Verge Motorcycles is set to release what it says will be the world’s first production electric vehicle powered by a solid-state battery in the United States this quarter, marking a milestone for a technology long viewed as the future of electric mobility.
The Finnish company’s TS Pro electric motorcycle will offer an estimated range of up to 370 miles on a single charge for its larger battery configuration and will feature a North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, allowing it to use Tesla’s Supercharger network. Verge said the bike can recharge in as little as 35 minutes, positioning it ahead of most current electric two-wheelers.

While many battery makers have announced production-ready solid-state battery packs, vehicles using the technology have largely remained at the prototype stage. “The first production electric vehicle with solid-state battery … will be released in the US this current quarter with up to 370 miles of range,” the article said, highlighting the gap between laboratory advances and commercial deployment.
Verge said it stacked 5 kWh solid-state battery cells to create a 33.3 kWh pack for the top TS Pro variant, while a smaller 20.2 kWh version offers an EPA-rated range of up to 217 miles. The company chose solid-state technology for its higher energy density and improved safety compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries, though it acknowledged that the approach remains significantly more expensive.

Beyond its battery, the TS Pro features a chainless drivetrain and a hubless rear-wheel motor delivering 737 lb-ft of torque, with a 0–60 mph time of 3.5 seconds. Verge said the motorcycle will support over-the-air software updates and will be sold in seven colors, though the company has not yet disclosed U.S. pricing ahead of its planned launch.
