Sodium-ion battery startup scores large automotive supply contract for a 10 GWh production line

  Just to clarify, the article states these are for low voltage systems inside cars, and not powering cars themselves.

  Which makes more sense as the density of Na-ion is ~30% less that Li-ion.

    The initial contract is plausibly just for 12V car batteries, but if Zoolnasm’s goal is 10GWh/yr, they definitely have their eyes set on larger-scale applications.

      Ah wow, I had current lfp at around 220-250 but that looks like it’s on the R&D lines and not in series production yet

      I guess with the sheer amount of research being lumped into Lithium batteries at the moment, I would be surprised if it is overtaken by anything short term at least in the auto space. Let’s see…
