CATL sodium battery to hit LFP cost parity by 2026 with 30-year lifespan

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new sodium-ion battery from CATL is projected to achieve cost parity with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries by 2026. This battery boasts an impressive lifespan of 15,000 cycles, equating to approximately 30 years of use. The development suggests that material scarcity may become a less significant constraint for energy storage solutions in the future. AI

IMPACT Advancements in battery technology like this could reduce the cost and increase the viability of large-scale AI infrastructure requiring significant power.
