British battery R&D company Faradion has demonstrated a proof-of-concept electric bike powered by sodium-ion batteries at the headquarters of Williams Advanced Engineering, which collaborated in the development of the bike. Thus, insertion/deinsertion of sodium ions in a host material is much more difficult than that of lithium ions.
