BYD is selling a bunch of Sodium Ion batteries in China. They are near half the price per KWh but they are bigger and heavier than lithium Ion and LFP. At that price however the cars get cheaper for the same range but the maximum range comes down a bit. Sodium Ion is going to dominate in home storage batteries in a year or two I suspect and mid and low range EVs.
- megaman821 3y agoI have been passively following sodium ion for home and grid. Any reliable data on their lifespan? I thought LFPs still retained an advantage of recharge cycles.
- PaulKeeble 3y agoLonger than LFP, 6000 cycles or so, maybe 20 years. For longevity they are really good.
