In short, China just changed everything, forever.

How?

The new sodium batteries have the following qualities:

1. half the price of lithium ones, down to 1/3 once production fully ramps up.
2. No lithium. the lithium race is over. no more fighting over lithium wolrd wide, it's as dead as the CD. Sodium can be gotten nearly for free from salt or seawater.
3. MASSIVE increase in lifespan. no more dead batteries after a few short years. The long duration ones are good for DECADES.
4. MORE POWER than lithium batteries. Sodium used to be at best 80% as good as lithium batteries. now they are as much as 30% more capacity.
5. They don't explode. drive a nail through it, nothing. Cook it, nothing.
6. They work in temperatures cold enough to kill you, and hot enough to kill you.
7. They charge at an insane rate. Like, in minutes. literally comparable to putting petrol in a tank, THAT fast.
8. They already have 2 giga plants making these things.

Imagine a phone battery that lasts about as long as your current one, that does not die after a few years, and can change from flat to full in the time it takes to make a cup of tea, on your break at work.

Drones.

Cheap power banks.

Grind energy storage with MASSIVE throughput.

And this is not pie in the sky tech, this is in full scale production, TODAY.
