      And lithium batteries are already obsolete sodium ion battery can last thousands of charge cycles

      But they still suffer from thermal runaways and aren’t as energy dense

      What’s next? Hopefully domestic-component grid storage batteries and EV batteries for greatly reduced cost and less reliance on China.

      Any serious effort towards a “green” future is going to require better home and vehicular energy generation and storage. We need gridscale batteries and EV batteries, cheaply, now.
