if we used sodium ion for stationairy battery's on mass, it would free up lithium for transport battery's size is not a problem for stationairy ones, they just sit at a site for years.

I'm 100 percent solar here at the house. I have over 100 kilowatt hours of lithium Iron phosphate batteries. With well over $10,000 into the batteries alone. Now that I think about it it's probably closer to 18,000. Powering a house is so much different than powering the car. Space is not that big a deal nor is weight. If I could have got this 100 kilowatt hours of batteries for half the price I would have done it in a heartbeat.
@hightechredneck8587
Biggest difference between lithium and sodium that I found while getting ready to build an off grid system. Sodium works far better in cold conditions. So it may not have quite the capacity per kg or volume that lithium has, but the cold weather performance is a game changer for northern people like myself.

i heard so many dad jokes in this i now think im a dad to children i don't have.

I grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I didn't consider it to be 'really cold' until it hit -20C (0F). Temperatures of -40 happened almost every year and -45C was not shocking. Lithium batteries needing to be heated at 'only' -20C is a real problem in an environment like that.
@outcast6187
Even at 160Wh/kg that destroys lead-acid batteries at 35 Wh/kg, if we can get rid of lead-acid batteries in combustion vehicles, USPs, and datacentres then it will be a huge step forward in a cleaner world.
@pumpkinLive
Puns per video density is getting ridiculous
@davidrennie8197
Moving away from lithium will mean better national energy security. We already have salt mines from the past that can provide the sodium so less pollution than lithium mining/extraction. Getting rid of cobalt will be better for international stability, environment too
@d-rot
Can we stop calling factories "gigafactories."

As a swede, Northvolt issues is a big item in the media. On March 12, Northvolt filed for bankrupcy with the court and auctions of their assets are already in the plans to sell of all their inventory. There's also been a significant amount of news articles regarding employees that moved here (to Sweden) just to work for Northvolt, and who invested all their capital in the move.. and now they're out of work and will likely have to return to their homecountries

SIBs don't need to achieve lithium level energy density. LFP has EVs covered. SIBs have to be the go-to solution for land based storage. All they need to work on is volumetric efficiency to optimize space/land usage.
@mrservus2629
The problem with sodium ion batteries is its Wh/L rating not the Wh/kg. Sodium cells have 40% the weight of lithium cells, which means you need more than twice the Volume which most devices cannot allow
@macinboss2159
0:21 I wonder if desalination can lead to a strong salt supply that’s not edible
@mustafayesil2688
Sodium is the best option for the humanity, nature and technology. As an engineer and consultant, i strongly recommend it to battery and battery companies that i worked with for investment . Its gonna be main tech specially for stable and large energy storage.
@astroNexx
As somebody living in the Jadar valley where we're fighting of mining companies AND the government from mining lithium and devastating our lands, I sincerely hope that sodium takes over and that it takes over ASAP!
@specialagentdustyponcho1065
Assuming the cost does come down as much as predicted, sodium batteries are definitely going to be the way to go for stationary and low-power applications. Sodium is just too readily available.
@LesGreenSIB
After running them in my house for almost two years i am really happy. Their voltage ramge makes it so much easier for inverters to establish SOC and prevent issues i had with my LFPs (Pylontech) before.
