Maybe I will pick one up when I go to Japan. This will be a game changer on the Critical Minerals front if it can be scaled up to more than just a phone charger.

The way I see it, sodium ion batteries look really promising in many applications where size and weight aren’t a huge concern. Obviously, mobile phones aren’t ideal, but bikes and city cars should be fine. Maybe even grid energy storage.

Yeah grid energy storage is the main application as far as i'm concerned.
