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.
