Re: GM Backs Sodium Ion Batteries for U.S. Grid Storage
#2I want to replace my Lithium home battery, and what I really want to do it to move to one of the new sodium ion batteries..e.g like the one CATL is supposed to have at some point?
Anyone have a good idea when these will be available for consumers?

#3> Peak Energy is buying its commercial cells via contracts with Chinese suppliers
So really just assembly and sales then. I suppose it's a good start and maybe if business takes off they can figure out their own cells.

#4My company operates two Jupiter Power owned LFP batteries in the MISO market. Each of them draws .5 - 2MW constantly for the HVAC system. If the cost for sodium batteries is similar to LFP, that alone would be a reason to switch.

Why would you replace it? That asset likely has at least 10 years in it if you already have it.

#6Keep in mind, we could have had local Na-Ion battery production in the US. The company producing them needed about $5m of bridge loans, with products already sitting in warehouses awaiting the UL certification.
This company got sold for scrap.

your comment would be more interesting if you actually provided any details at all

#8Its a failure in the U.S. because the bet is on solid state batteries. Personally I won't take the EV plunge until they have those. The only exception for me to not wait would be the 10k BYD car. At that price point and it lasted 3 years i'd be happy.

Why? You also need to replace your inverter in that case.

This is for grid storage, not EVs.
