Could sodium-ion become a low-carbon battery?
With no nickel, cobalt, or copper, sodium-ion could become the battery of choice for buyers chasing low-carbon supply-chain scores. With CATL’s Naxtra heading for mass production and more than 100 GWh of cumulative capacity now financed across three continents, sodium-ion is no longer a lab curiosity.
Which automakers have invested in sodium ion?
Volvo Cars became the first automaker to invest in sodium-ion, joining Altris’s Series B round to co-develop Prussian-white packs for stationary storage. HiNa shipped production packs for China’s budget Sehol E10X hatchback, proving real-world viability. CATL and Faradion both target that milestone by , erasing the gap with current LFP cells.
Is sodium more expensive than lithium?
Sodium is 500 × more abundant than lithium and costs pennies per kilogram at commodity scale. Swapping copper current collectors for cheaper aluminium and eliminating cobalt give sodium-ion cells an estimated 20–30 % cost head-start over LFP once plants exceed 5 GWh, according to BloombergNEF cost-modelling and several OEM road-maps.
Why is lithium ion so expensive?
Lithium-ion’s spectacular growth has exposed hard limits—price spikes for lithium and nickel, fire-safety worries, and a supply chain concentrated in just a few countries. Sodium is 500 × more abundant than lithium and costs pennies per kilogram at commodity scale.
