CATL Unveils 30-Year Sodium-Ion Battery Storage System
CATL launched the world's first field-validated sodium-ion battery energy storage system, claiming a 30-year lifespan. The Chinese battery giant's new technology could significantly reduce long-term energy storage costs. This marks a major step in diversifying battery chemistry beyond lithium-ion.
