it's interesting to see the first #sodium ion batteries show up on alie, they're still more expensive than lifepo4 right now, but they already have the advantage of working in low temperatures like -40C without any differences, having a decently high discharge rate (5S pulse and 20C continuous), and being intrinsically more stable and safe than anything with lithium .. tempted to get some and do some torture testing to see if they catch on fire or whatever if you stab them like with #lithium 🤔

The world’s first #EV with a #SodiumIon battery has landed – and it beats traditional #lithium batteries in one key way

By Leon Poultney, published February 9, 2026

Cheaper sodium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming a reality

Excerpt: "The battery technology, which has been developed by CATL (arguably the world’s largest manufacturer of EV batteries), has just finished winter testing in Inner Mongolia, where temperatures regularly drop well below what most EVs are designed to handle.

"According to Gizmochina, the Nevo A06 was able to charge without issue at around -30°C (-22°F) and continued operating at temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F)."
