Automaker from China, JAC Group and tech company HiNa Battery have collaborated together to develop first of its kind electric car powered by a sodium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in EVs, but they are expensive to produce due to the rising cost of lithium and other metals used in the making. On the other hand, Sodium-ion batteries are cheaper to produce because sodium is much more commonly found worldwide. Moreover, they are also safer for use and much more sustainable to produce compared to lithium-ion batteries. But one constraint pops up, i.e. they have a lower energy density, … Continue reading China’s Revolutionary Sodium-ion Battery EV Can Disrupt Lithium Power
