Sodium-ion batteries edge closer to challenging lithium-ion dominance
Sodium-ion batteries, which use abundant salt instead of lithium, are nearing commercial viability for EVs and grid storage. Several companies plan to start mass production in 2025, offering a cheaper and more sustainable alternative. Early tests show comparable performance to lithium-ion in many use cases.
Meridian48 take
The hype around sodium-ion has been building for years, but actual production timelines and real-world performance data will determine if this is a genuine breakthrough or another battery chemistry that fails to scale.
