Comment on North Carolina is getting a $1.4B sodium-ion battery gigafactory
drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months agoThere is already a Chinese EV that uses sodium ion a sodium ion battery, the JMEV EV3.
It’s a tradeoff of range vs price. The EV3 only has 251 km of range, but thanks in part to its sodium ion battery it costs only $9220 new. Which is a price that will probably drop even more as more sodium ion plants come online and economies of scale kick in.

I’d be able to drive that to and from work 15x before charging.
