Still far less energy density than lithium, about 50-66%, but another step in the right direction. Differences are less at extreme cold where lithium suffers more. I think we’ll see sodium batteries really start to take hold if they get them to 75-80% as energy dense as lithium. Especially in colder climates.
Sodium will never catch up to lithium in terms of energy density. Thats just the chemical property it has.
The advantage with sodium is that it doesn't contain any rare materials.
Same is true for lithium. The NMC era is over, we use LFP now.
