Perfect for my needs. But I doubt it will ever be for sale here in the U.S.

The key is that with the right use case, it frees up lithium to be used where only it is suitable.

(for my needs I'd be fine with sodium...)

I can see that. My point is that the only electric car that has that range in the U.S. is the Leaf, which goes 168 miles on the smaller battery. I don't need an electric car that goes that many miles between charges. I'd be fine with 90. I'd probably be fine with less than 90. We have a second car if we ever want to leave town. I'd ditch my hybrid and get a cheaper electric car that didn't have a huge range, but it isn't even on offer.

I would love to have an electric smart car for running errands.

Exactly! Something cheap and tiny for just going around town.
