Five fast facts about sodium ion batteries

Sodium is cheap and found everywhere, offering a resilient alternative to rare and expensive lithium.

Sodium-ion batteries use existing manufacturing infrastructure, making them a viable near-term substitute for lithium-ion.

These batteries offer advantages in safety and performance in cold temperatures.

While sodium-ion energy density is currently lower than lithium-ion, it continues to improve each year.

Sodium-ion batteries are already powering small electric vehicles, scooters, and grid-scale energy storage systems.
