This Chinese Sodium Battery Will Change EV Industry FOREVER In 2023

In this video, we take a deep dive into the world of sodium batteries and explore how a new Chinese sodium battery is set to change the game in 2023.

Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, sodium batteries have a number of advantages that make them more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable. In this video, we'll examine how this new Chinese sodium battery technology works and why it could be a game-changer for the EV industry.

We'll also explore the potential benefits of sodium batteries, including faster charging times, longer lifespan, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, we'll discuss the potential drawbacks and challenges that may come with this new technology.

Safety is the major advantage of sodium ion battery other than lithium ion battery with small capacity sacrifice. However, CATL also announced new condensed matter battery, which have way better capacity and safety and fast charging features over both lithium and sodium ion batteries. glad to see the battery technology fast evolving.

Innovation, innovation, China leads the world in innovation.
This is why China has come so far so fast, and this trend
will not end no time soon.

CATL just announced 270WH/KG Sodium battery, while the US is busy sending money to Ukraine. Keep going please both!

Good to hear that, save earth-save lives….Go EV ❤🌳🇳🇵🌎

160kw/ kg, I'll take 3 for my Mitsubishi minicab miev, I'd love a 247 kg weight saving and 300 times the range.

I am a PhD in Lib /mechanical engineering
I heard about this battery in 2014

And hopefully they will be porting these sodium batteries to in portable electronic market.

AA, AAA, C, D and other rechargeable battery sizes would quickly take off. Maybe even for cell phones as well

Small correction: the density is 160 Watt hours per kg not Kilowatt hours per kg

It will be interesting to see which new technology, silicon-io vs. sodium-ion, batteries take the lead. SIlicon offers significant higher energy densities and a 20- minute (vice 60-minute for Lithium-ion) charge time for a vehicle. My understaning, however, is that silicon just replaces graphite, but lithium is still used in the silicon battery.

Was expecting such a breakthrough when India discovered Li deposits

Imagine a standard battery cell module that is mandated for EV vehicles, like a cartridge. Module packs can range from 50 miles to 100 miles ect... and instead of "fueling up" you just replace your pack(s) in an auto bay, drive in, swap and move along. Of course this would require billions upon billions of dollars in infrastructure, design and collaboration, however it would essential solve all of EV "issues" and thanks to advancements on battery tech like this sodium battery, its only a matter of when and if instead of how.

I think it's a good idea to get away from mining cobalt, nickel, etc. With respect to this, CATL is doing really good things. I wish them great success.

[faradaycool]

Great video. Highest density (of information) of Li vs Na batteries

[Jdjsksjdhdj]

sounds cool to me. wonder how well they work

[vaibhavtandekar]

Only china can do something revolutionary in this field to bring down prices

[megatronDelaMusa]

The Chinese are doing so well to combat climate change by democratizing EV for the ordinary man in Africa to afford it. God bless the Chinese

Sodium ion technologies have been out for 20 years. I am happy to see it became commercialized in a 20 year window.

[trwent]

With the current (lithium ion) batteries, they tell you not to deplete them to below 20%, but I have heard that would not be an issue with sodium ion batteries.

[kevtutorials]

Looking forward to the implementation of sodium batteries on a massive scale.

Sodium chloride (common salt) is generally a more abundant and economical source of sodium than sodium carbonate (soda ash), which is less abundant and typically produced through a multi-step chemical process.
