CATL’s first generation sodium batteries, shipped in Chery cars are $77/kWh CATL’s lithium phosphate batteries are more expensive for now at >$100kWh. Sodium batteries are definitely cheaper in practice, but much lower energy density. The question is how far CATL can push energy density, and the second generation is claimed to be >200Wh/kh. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/catl-and-byd-to-start-production-of-sodium-ion-batteries-westerners-left-behind-again-214061.html https://www.autoevolution.com/news/catl-and-byd-to-start-pro... https://www.westchestercleanenergy.com/post/record-low-lithium-ion-battery-cell-prices https://www.westchestercleanenergy.com/post/record-low-lithi...
