This is important for a few reasons. These batteries cost less because they don't rely on lithium. Sodium is extremely abundant and takes little energy to mine and refine. But more importantly, they last much longer and they work in very cold temperatures.
And I'll believe it when I see it, rather than a press release of promises which is basically a paid ad to hitch investors.
This kind of disinterested cynicism is toxic.
You can buy sodium batteries from this company, right now, on Alibaba.
They're the world's biggest battery manufacturer, that's like doubting Samsung when they talk about the feature of their next smartphone.
