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?

A focus on tailpipe CO2 emissions has distracted away from the impact of car production, suggests Professor Frank Figge who co-authored the ‘Sustainable Value in Automobile Manufacturing’ study. Its sodium oxide value contributions show the worst level of resource efficiency in the entire study.

If electric cars have to deliver the future we all expect them to, there will need to be several advances made in the coming years. Automotive battery production currently releases around half a dozen tonnes of CO2. Also on the cards, and often touted as a solution, are sodium-ion batteries.

Further, according to a report from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), gasoline and diesel ICE vehicle technologies fueled on a fossil/biofuel mix emit approximately 245–253 g CO2 eq./km Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km, km over their lifetime.
