Sodium-ion batteries offer benefits over their lithium-ion counterparts. They can discharge faster, providing short, intense bouts of power. Modern life runs on lithium-ion batteries , powering smartphones, laptops and electric cars alike. But as dominant as they’ve become, there are other ways to build a battery.
The Truth About Cars

Solely on the basis of the mass considerations above, we can conclude that battery-powered options are favored for small vehicles when short-range and long refueling times are acceptable. Packaging and high volume cost analyses of projected technologies are outside of the scope of this Perspective. Wagner et al. Wagner et al.
Cars That Think
MARCH 11, 2023
In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. As utilities shifted to more reliable alternating-current systems, they phased out these costly backup batteries. Utilities reconsidered batteries, not as stationary units but in EVs.
