    Na-ion batteries are a good thing. They are made from widely-available resource, thus there is no risk of shortage.

    On top of that, they have the potential to get real cheap in the future due to said ubiquity of raw ingredients.

      Looking forward to those cheap batteries. It might take a few years to ramp up production, but once that happens, it’s going to be even wilder than it currently is with Li-ion batteries.

      Nowadays, we have batteries in a bunch of weird things like earbuds, bluetooth speakers, vacuum cleaners, mice, kitchen scales, and even disposable vapes. When Na-ion batteries get really cheap, we could have even more batteries in everything. This means that all the things that currently don’t use electricity at all, might do so in the future.

        Ubiquitous cheap batteries also make renewable energy extremely feasible making a happier future for us all. :)

        I hope this tech kicks off asap
