Comment on The Sodium-Ion Battery Revolution Has Started

I don’t know if the same applies to sodium batteries, early indicators are that they are less sensitive to depth of discharge as a degradation driver.

Still, the expected lifetime is going to be at least between 4-8 times NCM (traditional li-ion), which is massive.

Definitely incredible but I still feel like people’s excitement is misdirected.

they’re less energy dense so not likely to be on phones or many cars

for cars the extra life is marginal when existing batteries already last more than the life of a typical vehicle

much cheaper will make a huge difference in low end cars.

but storage is the killer app! I don’t care about energy density but they’re much cheaper and will last much longer. Huge win!
