Sodium ion doesn't require cobalt either (no nickel as well in the newer designs), CATL is pushing that and iirc they have energy densities to a point where low

Sodium ion doesn't require cobalt either (no nickel as well in the newer designs), CATL is pushing that and iirc they have energy densities to a point where low end EV's can use them. By bulk they use sodium, aluminium and iron - all of which are very abundant. China is dominating that field as well.
