Despite all the efforts to champion for sodium batteries over the decade at @LESC_Public, we face hesitations in this part of the world persistenly. There was a time we all started the same spot in the race... instead of blaming China, perhaps it is time to reflect inwards.
NEWS: China's CATL today launched a new brand for its sodium-ion batteries, Naxtra, which it said would go into mass production in December, and a second generation of its fast-charging battery for EVs that can add 520 km (323 miles) of range in five minutes of charging. CATL:
