The first mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) using a sodium-ion battery has been introduced by JAC Motors. While lithium-ion batteries are more developed and have a higher density than sodium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries are cheaper, dependable, and have better cold-weather performance. Why Sodium-ion Batteries?

TEM images revealed a high density of dislocations emerging from the reaction front (marked by chevron-shaped dotted lines). The charge and discharge (lithiation and delithiation) of the electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) produce large strains in the host material, leading to plasticity and fracture.

Price tag: about $25,000, made from 95% recyclable materials with a top speed of 65 miles per hour and range of 110 miles per charge. It is aggressively in talks with Portland General Electric Plug-In Charging Stations , ( POR ) and other states including Michigan, and California that are scrambling to offer incentives. before 2010.

Finally, in a first-of-its-kind partnership in the United States, Mitsubishi announced a strategic alliance with Oregon to develop an electric car charging infrastructure in the state. If these companies are ultimately successful and can convince EV manufacturers to ditch lithuim ion, we could depend on the already robust recycling program.
