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.
Fair. I’ve done road trips in a car that charges at 120kw and that seemed about as long as I would want to wait (about 30 minutes if it is super low).
The breaks are for sure nice though. I’m always surprised how less tired I am in long trips thanks to the charging breaks.
