we see all these "revolutions" in battery tech. however, the interesting thing is, that when they come to market, it is no revolution anymore. but that does not matter, because every year we have a good evolution. every years the kWh cost about 5% less and the range of cars is growing about 7% this happened over 10 years now. and right now there is no end of this development in sight. the year over year growth in range might slow down a bit because we don't need that much range increments anymore. so, maybe 6.5% next year, 6% in two years, another 5.5% in three years and so on. nevertheless, we have that nice development that results in a solid AND HEALTHY growth every year. it should not be faster because the industry cannot handle faster growth well.

The energy density is more than enough for most applications now. Not to mention the cost. These are about $90/USD per kwh compared to $130/USD kwh for lithium ion and CATL said that the cost of these will drop to about $45/USD by the end of the year with full-scale production... That alone would bring a 20 kwh battery pack down to under $1K which is amazing! Personally I drive a Smart Fortwo and the electric version which I don't but wanted to own has a 17 kwh pack. So you could probably fit a similarly sized pack into one now with little range loss but huge cost savings!

The shift towards sodium-ion batteries by companies like BYD is driven by various factors, including the desire to diversify battery options, reduce reliance on limited resources like lithium, and explore alternative technologies that may offer benefits in specific applications. Range anxiety and charging infrastructure are significant considerations for EV adoption, especially in markets like India. Achieving longer ranges and faster charging times are crucial for widespread acceptance of electric vehicles. As technology continues to advance, we can expect improvements in battery performance and affordability, which will hopefully address these challenges and make EVs even more appealing to consumers. Your perspective on the importance of longer ranges and affordability is valuable, and it's something manufacturers and policymakers are undoubtedly considering as they work towards a more sustainable transportation future. Thanks!
