Sodium-ion batteries have been overshadowed by lithium-ion for decades, but there's a thousand times more sodium in the earth's crust than there is lithium. And now the battery chemistry has been mastered so that sodium-ion batteries have as much energy density as their lithium based competitors. Plus sodium-ion batteries are lighter, safer, cheaper and cleaner than lithium-ion. This one really could be a gamechanger.
