A better battery is finally here.

consumers don’t want bigger batteries, this is just a gimmick until it scales; but it has the potential to blow lithium out of the water on cost and consumers do want cheaper shit.
It’s 1.3x physically bigger for 2x the Watts/kg and 10x lifespan.
I’d take that trade off in a phone and definitely take that trade off in a car.
Are the sodium batteries safer than lithium, too? That’s an even bigger factor for me.
I doubt most people have had a bad experience with lithium so they might be (actually they are) safer but the average person literally doesn’t care.
I’ve shorted lithium cells before and even I don’t blink when it comes to carrying one in my pocket all day long.
