Stark Battery Tech Thread

[Karinshi]

@Karinshi : you keep asking if Stark would sell newer batteries for older models...

Yes, I've been thinking that for a while, but it's true that this isn't usually how any brand operates. Personally, I like the idea that if Stark manufactured a battery with the exact same shape but a 10kWh battery we could install it in our first gen EXs, I'd buy it. But reality is different.

What I do believe will become a reality is an EX model with a 10kWh battery in the future; there's no reason not to. In fact, they'll probably wait until they can reach 10kWh, not 9. It's more impactful. I can already see the headline: "The new Varg EX 1.2 with a 10.8kWh battery, redefining the electric world once again."

And then you can prepare yourself to see thousands of secondmarket Vargs

I really believe this will be or at least must be the reality 3 years from now at max

Stark is partnering with EVE Energy, ...


Mass production should start in 2026.
...

I read that a little differently:

With the partnerships now formalized, EVE will begin preparing for industrial-scale production of the 26120 cell in 2026. Stark aims to integrate the new format into its next-generation on-road motorcycle platforms, further reinforcing its position as the technological frontrunner in the electric motorcycle revolution.

(my highlights)

When EVE begin preparing in 2026, we unlikely will see a Stark Battery with that technology supplied in 2026.

From the second highlight, I guess the cells will be used for the ALI and LO bikes, and probably some Eicher Motors designs in the making. They might even never reach the current MX/EX/SM models, since the packaging space of the current battery in the frame likely won't allow to make full use of the new format advantages.

Yes the first time we see these new cells should be in a couple of years with Älg release for which target is 300 km range, 10 min fast charging (so new cells and much larger pack).

It would likely be extended later to their entire range so maybe in Varg 2.0 or 3.0.
