Faradion demonstrates proof-of-concept sodium-ion electric bike

Green Car Congress

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. Oxford University was also a partner. The battery for the e-bike has a design energy of 418 Wh, 250 Wh of which has been used in the e-bike proof-of-concept.
