JAC Motors, a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, unveiled the first mass-produced EV with a sodium-ion battery through its new Yiwei brand. Although sodium-ion battery tech has a lower density than lithium-ion, its lower costs, simpler and more abundant supplies and superior cold-weather performance could help accelerate mass EV adoption.
Where is the sodium coming from?
My diet, probably
The ocean?
I hope not, because salt isn’t a renewable resource. And who the hell wants to fight the auto industry for something we need for food?
The ocean could uhhhh use some less salt.
Bro we will need to do desalination plants to supply people with water, there will be more than enough salt and you can’t dump the salt back into the ocean anyway
