Slighter lower than LFP.
Comment on CATL says next-gen sodium-ion battery supports 500 km range, readies for 2026 mass production

“slightly lower” == 2/3rds, apparently. the model 3’s pack is 250Wh/kg. also, 500km range in what? the only way you could fit an equal-range battery in a contemporary compact vehicle like the model 3 would be if it had almost double the density of Li-ion.

Sodium itself Is nearly double the density of Lithium. I don’t know how much that affects the whole pack, but it’s gotta be something.

The model 3 is not a compact vehicle…it’s a regular size sedan.

it is apparently D-segment, yeah. i have a C-seg car and have found the model 3 to be very similar in size, but maybe that’s just a matter of the height making it look smaller.
