The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January - Sodium-ion batteries have lower density but are cheaper and perform better in cold weather::JAC Motors, a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, unveiled the first mass-produced EV with a sodium-ion battery through its new Yiwei brand. Although sodium-ion battery tech has a lower density than lithium-ion, its lower costs, simpler and more abundant supplies and superior cold-weather performance could help accelerate mass EV adoption.
Assuming these numbers aren’t massaged like Tesla’s, 252 km (157 miles) isn’t a terrible range. Not something you’ll want to road trip across the country with, but suitable for most city commuting.
Combine that with that company that switches out batteries and this is a great solution
