Comment on CATL says next-gen sodium-ion battery supports 500 km range, readies for 2026 mass production
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoPeople understand time.
People have no fucking idea how much their crap uses. So giving the watthour is literally pointless.
It’s a nice statistic to have.
But for cars, giving a cars range in watthours is like saying the road trip is 8.3 gallons of gas.
JUST TELL ME HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET THERE OR HOW FAR IT IS.

I think the issue in this case is that the range of this specific car and battery doesn’t convey the impact of the battery innovation. If they gave an example of the range with that car and battery size using current battery tech to demonstrate the improvement, I think that would be more helpful.
