Good news! Will China corner the global battery market?
"China has over 36.9 million ... passenger ... EVs and more than 420 million electric two-wheelers (motorcycles, scooters, and e-bikes) currently in use." (Google search)
"China’s CATL set to begin large-scale output this year in a push that researchers say could offer a cheaper, safer, and more abundant alternative to lithium for EVs and grid storage."
Beyond lithium: how sodium-ion batteries could change the world "Batteries based on sodium ions are entering mass production. Some researchers say they could ultimately be a cheaper, safer alternative to lithium in electric cars and other energy applications."
Sodium-ion batteries made by CATL in China are used in electric cars (left) and energy-storage banks for electricity grids (right).
