Comment on CATL says next-gen sodium-ion battery supports 500 km range, readies for 2026 mass production
ShadowRam@fedia.io 7 hours agoQuestion is.... How much cheaper...
LFP is almost at the price point we could all have a freezer sized battery pack in our house, drastically changing the grid, and allowing a place for all that wind/solar to store energy.
If Sodium is a fair chunk cheaper, then it will totally be worth buying a house battery pack. Buying energy on the cheap at certain times of day, and using the battery when energy prices are high.

Why wouldn’t the grid do this on an industrial scale and remove any off peak discounts?
