The world’s first #EV with a #SodiumIon battery has landed – and it beats traditional #lithium batteries in one key way

Cheaper sodium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming a reality

Excerpt: "The battery technology, which has been developed by CATL (arguably the world’s largest manufacturer of EV batteries), has just finished winter testing in Inner Mongolia, where temperatures regularly drop well below what most EVs are designed to handle.

"According to Gizmochina, the Nevo A06 was able to charge without issue at around -30°C (-22°F) and continued operating at temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F)."
