160 Wh/kg for sodium ion would be higher than the ~105 Wh/kg LMO cathode and about in line with LCO, LMO/LNO and NMC cathodes up through 2012.
I think LMO is lithium manganese oxide, which might be the same type of battery as in my 2013 Nissan Leaf. Mine's 24 kWh, but they're up to 62 kWh now:

They use AESC cells, which are 80% nickel with a Ni-Mn-Co mix:

Perhaps better cathodes could double sodium ion battery density over the next decade?
