A model powered by sodium-ion batteries built by Farasis Energy in partnership with JMEV, an EV brand owned by Jiangling Motors Group, rolled off the assembly line on December 28,”
@auscandoc With the rapidly, truly dramatic falling prices of Lithium across the globe and the lower density of sodium-ion, the value proposition of these new batteries is being tested. We are in early stages, so it will be interesting to see how battery tech plays out over the next couple of years. The discovery of massive new Lithium deposits, like this one in the USA https://finance.yahoo.com/news/worlds-largest-deposit-lithium-may-231936498.html#:~:text=The%20world's%20largest%20deposit%20of%20lithium%20may%20have%20just%20been,border%20of%20Nevada%20and%20Oregon, have changed the game. Sodium-ion batteries require less destructive mining, but that said…”Battery materials like lithium, nickel and cobalt are infinitely recyclable. The critical materials in lithium-ion EV batteries can be recycled over and over without performance loss.”
