They are mass producing the sodium-ion batteries as Naxtra.
- Longer battery range
- Less degradation
- Better performance in cold
- No exploding in a ball of fire
- Sodium is easily available around the world
Apparently 6 automakers are going to put Naxtra batteries in 30 different 2026 models.
With this just being the first version of the battery, there is a lot of potential for these batteries to go from comparable to Lithium to vastly superior.
This is the kind of innovation I was hoping Canada would be leading going all of the way back to Ballard power fuel cell excitement ~20 years ago.
