Chinese sodium-ion battery matches Tesla lithium-ion benchmarks in new study
Summary
A Chinese sodium-ion battery developed by Hina has achieved performance and manufacturing quality comparable to Tesla's lithium-ion batteries, according to research in Cell Reports Physical Science. The findings suggest sodium-ion technology could become a lower-cost, more abundant alternative for EVs and energy storage, though improvements in cold-weather charging and energy density are still needed.
