CATL, a major Tesla battery supplier, launches its first commercial salt-based battery for electric vehicles. (See if its a waste https://www.torquenews.com/8113/catl-sodium-ion-battery-waste-precious-research-time).

The advantage of salt-based battery for electric vehicles is that salt is cheap. A significant amount of the cost and difficulty in sourcing scarcer lithium could be avoided by leveraging salt. And now CATL, which is one of the largest EV battery makers in the world, is leading the way by launching its first commercial sodium-ion battery.

Intelligent Living reports that "CATL researchers used a hard and porous carbon material for the anode and tweaked the structure of another material called Prussian White to rearrange the electrons. These materials form vital components of the company’s first commercial sodium-ion battery, which boasts impressive performance figures."
