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?

Purification of the lithium, then reaction with sodium carbonate to convert it to lithium carbonate. The competitiveness of the Eramet DLE process ranks it in the first quartile of the cash cost curve of the lithium industry (cash cost of c.$3,500/t 3,500/t LCE EXW), with large-scale drainable resources (nearly 10 Mt LCE).

Given how fast things change in this business, chances are lithium-ion batteries – which have drawbacks in terms of sustainability, energy security and cost – will be overtaken by another type of energy storage. JMEV, another Chinese firm, also announced the rollout of a new EV powered by SIBs from Farasis Energy.

(CATL) unveiled its sodium-ion battery earlier today, along with a solution that could integrate the cells with lithium-ion batteries in a single pack. The sodium-ion cells are a more cost-effective option than the lithium-ion batteries, opening the door for lower prices in the EV battleground market of China. CATL sold 34.1

The price of the lithium-ion batteries used in the EVs is the main culprit for the high initial cost of any electric vehicle in any part of the world. Panasonic, Tesla, Toyota, and Chinese firms are pioneering new technologies. To substitute cobalt, several companies are experimenting with sulphur, sodium, and magnesium.

A Chinese battery maker's chairman believes lithium carbonate prices could even fall below RMB 100,000 ($14,530), with the battery raw material not seeing a single day of gains this year. The actual cost of lithium carbonate per ton is around RMB 30,000, and there is no reason for it to go up to RMB 500,000 or 600,000, he said.
