The world’s largest EV maker, BYD , broke ground on its first sodium-ion battery plant this week. Although lithium-ion is currently the primary battery in vehicles, companies are developing new chemistries to unlock lower prices, more range, faster charging, and less raw material use. BYD is investing $1.4

Sodium-ion batteries have long been touted as a possible successor to the lithium-ion kind—they may have lower energy density, but they rely on more abundant sodium rather than lithium, perform better in cold temperatures, and above all, tend to be cheaper. The model’s sodium battery version has a smaller battery pack (21.4

For the proof-of-concept, the cells were manufactured to be larger than necessary to avoid unnecessary costs and lengthy manufacturing processes at this early stage. Sodium-ion intercalation batteries—i.e., Thus, insertion/deinsertion of sodium ions in a host material is much more difficult than that of lithium ions.
