EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think!

Plug In India

The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size. ​Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries are similar in construction to lithium-ion ones. Multiple auto makers are seeking a secure supply chain for battery materials. It’s ridiculous.

Hyundai to offer Tucson Fuel Cell vehicle to LA-area retail customers in spring 2014; Honda, Toyota show latest FCV concepts targeting 2015 launch

Green Car Congress

Currently, there’s an ongoing debate about the future of the electric vehicle, which Hyundai condensed into two approaches: Store more electricity on-board using more/larger batteries. The energy is stored in a 24 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, jointly developed with LG Chemical. Hyundai is taking the second approach.
