These would probably replace the lithium phosphate batteries and even Tesla's are that high. It's not just the cooling issues for the lithium batteries, but the fire propagation suppression.

You don't need that with the sodium batteries so I do think they'll eventually replace lithium phosphate in cheaper EVs

Their competition is probably more likely lithium iron, as that has a lower energy density and is cheaper, but also even worse in cold. Premium EV's will still use Lithium phosphate, but I could see it displacing LiFe on lower models if it has the specs they say.
