A promising new study demonstrates that sodium-ion batteries already in use across China can match the performance and quality standards of Tesla's lithium-ion counterparts. Since sodium is far more abundant and accessible than lithium, this breakthrough could significantly reduce manufacturing costs while easing pressure on scarce mineral resources.
