A new type of sodium-ion battery, developed in China, is now matching the performance parameters and production quality of Tesla’s lithium-ion batteries.
Developed by the company Hina, the battery’s high power capability, and strong low‑temperature performance makes these cells attractive for stationary storage.
Once the new battery is tweaked to charge more effectively at low temperatures and function better at high energy densities, it could provide a cost-effective alternative for future electric vehicle batteries that depends on sodium—an abundant and easily sourced material—instead of lithium, according to a new study.
