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.

BEVs run entirely on a battery-powered electric drivetrain. The electricity used to drive the vehicle is stored in a large battery, which is charged by plugging the car into a power source, either at home or public charging stations. This battery then provides power to the electric motors to run the car. .
