China has had production EVs with sodium ion batteries for 2 years. I wonder when scientists will invent Freedom sodium so I can buy one in America.
CATL and Changan announced earlier this year that they'd be releasing the first mass produced EV with sodium ion batteries in mid 2026, and that sodium ion model still hasn't launched yet. What other vehicle are you saying beat them to this?
Unfortunately that's communist technology, so it's banned for your own good.
Real patriots only drive pickups that burn through fuel like AI data centers burn through water.
Sodium cells last about half as many cycles as lithium. Poor choice for a car.
And those ones are lasting longer than anyone expected.
They are cheaper to produceand safer, make replaceables easier ad get with the new tech.
