Li-ion doesn’t look likely to get knocked off its perch as the go-to technology, especially for longer range EVs or even BESS installations in more land-constrained areas.
For electric vehicles specifically, the list of benefits includes a long lifecycle and the ability to function efficiently over a wide range of temperatures. If you caught that thing about discharging quickly, though, that’s a problem. Deployment in electric vehicles is currently limited to secondary tasks where a quick burst of power is useful, such as acceleration and regenerative braking. In those use cases, supercapacitors avoid wear and tear on the main battery.
Sodium For The Sustainable Electric Vehicle Battery Of The Future
Lithium-ion batteries have been the energy storage technology of choice for electric vehicle stakeholders ever since the early 2000s, but a shift is coming. Sodium-ion battery technology is one new technology to emerge.
Sodium-ion has theoretical advantages that could make it complementary to lithium-ion in the battery market, if not a direct competitor.
The battery cell product range includes prismatic and cylindrical form factor cells.
