Sodium-ion batteries: why CATL’s next bet matters for the electric future
Sodium-ion batteries are said to be more stable and safer (non-flammable), but so far couldn’t offer the same energy density. That hurdle is taken after this first Na+ batteries with the next generation called Naxtra /CATL
The world’s largest battery maker, Chinese CATL, expects sodium-ion batteries to enter large-scale deployment from 2026. The technology will not replace lithium, but it could play a decisive role in making electric mobility more affordable, safer, and less reliant on scarce raw materials, particul
