MODERATORS
What's with the rumors (?) about sodium batteries? When they work and are much cheaper, who needs lithium in the foreseeable future?
Their theoretical energy density are half of what lithium achieves. While their price and ecology probably makes sense in some cases, good luck marketing an ev with half the range, or a cellphone that lasts half a day.
