Future Of Battery Technology
Battery companies continue to explore alternatives to the dominant lithium-based chemistries. Last July, CATL revealed the first generation of its sodium-ion batteries for use across EVs and stationary storage, targeting a launch in 2023.
Although in its early days, the sodium-ion battery holds up well even in very cold climates and virtually eliminates the fire risk tied to lithium-ion batteries, CATL said.
Adamas Intelligence’s Kolesnikova expects sodium batteries to emerge as a viable alternative to lithium within two years.
