I Kina rasar priserna just nu.
Natrium-batterier kommer snart att ersätta Litium i de billigare bilarna så det kan vara en anledning till prisnedgången.
De två första bilarna med Natrium-batterier presenterades på Shanghai auto show nyligen.

Våra svenska tidningar är usla på att bevaka den extremt snabba utvecklingen i Kina.

The first generation of mass-produced sodium-ion batteries has been installed in a production electric car for the first time. The model is part of VW's joint venture Sehold brand in China and can cover 157 miles on a charge with the Na-ion battery that is much cheaper and safer than its lithium counterparts.

Volkswagen's joint venture with JAC in China has produced the first electric car powered by the nascent sodium-ion battery technology. Provided by HiNa Battery, the mass-produced pack is installed in one of the joint venture Sehol brand's models - the E10X - which is a small urban electric car with a very affordable price and decent range that VW sells boatloads of in China.

With the sodium-ion battery, the test Sehol E10X is able to cover about 157 miles (252km) on a charge and is capable of charging at up to 4C speeds or 15 minutes. The Na-ion cells of HiNa Battery currently ship with energy density of 145 Wh/kg and are rated for 4,500 full charge-discharge cycles. Doubling of the cycles and 200 Wh/kg energy density is expected for the second Na-ion battery generation that HiNa is currently developing.

Ja dom svenska biltidningarna är mer på hugget när någon helt ointressant och irrelevant har skett i USA

Man behöver bara kika på kinesiska elbilspriser för att inse att batteriet inte är något som är kritiskt för elbilars pris. En förändring i litiumpriset gör varken till eller från.
