In the passenger car segment, sodium-ion batteries can generally meet the needs of models with a range of up to 400 kilometers, a CATL executive previously said. CATL's sodium-ion batteries are not far from starting to be installed in vehicles, after the Chinese power battery giant unveiled the new batteries in July 2021.

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.
