Car technology has never been in such a state of flux as it is now, and given lithium-ion batteries only really became a commercial big deal in the 1990s, the sudden shift towards cars powered by them is extraordinary. SIBs are benign, containing no lithium or cobalt, and sodium is abundant worldwide.
