Reply to comment by ZXKeyr324XZ in EU approves 2035 ban on new fossil fuel car sales by chrisdh79

So in the next ten years, the EU is going to revolutionize the sodium battery. Fix it's charging cycle problems, lower it's weight low enough to even fit in EV's. Because so far no car uses it due to it sucking for anything mobile. Set up nigh on hundreds of factories to bring them to market in the millions.

No, in ten years we might start to see them be small enough to put in EV's in a lab maybe. More likely applications like city busses if you're lucky. But in no way will an industry exist even alongside lithium batteries to support this fiction.

...There are already sodium ion batteries ready for launch this year..?

The BYD Seagull is right around the corner

All I am seeing is hype and guessing. You have any sources confirming it's power source or just guessing from auto magazine's like I read.

Edit. A word

All I've read is from several different reports talking about said car, some reports about BYD working on Sodium Ion batteries too.

Beyond that, CATL is also working on them too.
