A close look at the single-cylinder engine of the Benz Patent-Motorwagen of 1885, for instance, reveals a crankshaft and internals exposed to the elements, something that’s unthinkable today. SIBs are benign, containing no lithium or cobalt, and sodium is abundant worldwide. Overall, SIBs are around 30% cheaper than lithium ion.
