CATL Sodium-Ion Batteries in Passenger Vehicles in July!
- •CATL's Naxtra sodium-ion batteries are confirmed for deployment in passenger vehicles starting July, marking a significant commercialization milestone for this lower-cost battery chemistry.
- •This development signals the imminent availability of a potentially cheaper battery alternative to lithium-ion, which could drive down costs for electric vehicles and, by extension, future stationary energy storage solutions.
- •For developers and large power consumers, the successful scaling of sodium-ion technology in the automotive sector could lead to more cost-effective grid-scale and behind-the-meter storage options for renewable integration, peak shaving, and enhanced resilience.
