From the comments:

Nothing is ever "game-changing" until it is in proven within volume production.

The best advantage of Naxtra Sodium battery is safety. Crush, puncture and saw into half no fire, no explosion.

I like the idea of electric vehicles, not for environment crap, I'm not retarded. I like EV, but always saw how the lithium batteries "just aren't there" Now this sort of thing, does have me raise an eyebrow, well see in a year after "test pilots" (ones who rushed first) have to say after a year of driving. (especially preforming in colder weather)

Electric motors are so much less maintenance, and don't degrade just sitting there. The main turn-off these days is all the surveillance and locked-down firmware and subscriptions. The old-school electric conversions seemed the pinnacle, other than the batteries.

Yet I'm still not interested in EVs or anything that sounds like a toaster.

Thanks for the up vote point and response. Have one in response 😀

Don't forget incumbent interests. There is a lot riding on lithium right now.

China wont like losing a huge portion of the value of its rare earths monopoly.

And africa will lose quite a lot of income as lithium mines close presumably meaning more wars.

Tech products will get cheaper and last longer which will impact the buy new culture some. Likely tech companies will find new methods of designed obsolescence, silver lining, people aware of the practice generally support banning designed obsolescence so this sort of thing could backfire gloriously.

Looks like big money hews are telling other big money jews to invest in naxtra battery producers meaning it seems like it's legit this time; this tech will likely be industry standard inside of 3 years from now.

Interesting IF true. There have been heaps of "game changers" pop up and basically all have fizzled, I'll remain skeptical until it's actually shown to work as advertised.

Still doesn't solve the really big problems with EVs though, in that the electricity infrastructure is not designed to handle the load of multiple vehicles charging simultaneously. If these batteries were shown to be safe, cheap and reliable, it could be possible to have a battery at home, that charges during low demand periods, which is then used to reduce the load when charging an EV and could be very good for solar/battery setups on a domestic scale. All sounds a bit unicorn farts to me though.

Now if only they could get batteries to charge as quickly as a capacitor.

Naxtra(sodium) is a C-rate of 5c meaning it charge charges 5-10x faster than current mass production lithium ion batterieswhich range from 0.5c-1c. That said LFP (lithium iron phosphate) has a C-rate of 12c. These are all ideal conditions so I suspect they will run at a lower C-rate to conserve the battery's life, on second thought they probably won't, these thing could have a service life of hundreds of years if managed at 80% of max so they will probably be overtuned to get the fastest charge possible and burn out ASAP production is cheaper meaning sale price will be lower or stagnant and sales will be immense at first but unless that price stays down and falls they will hit market cap in 8 years or so unless they convince every energy company on earth to buy huge batteries this competing with that Dutch thorium company for a new energy market dynamic could be a big deal.

Get the price down fast enough solar costs are gonna drop too because how much of a no brainer this makes solar, even in britain solar would make sense with this tech for the individual household. Hell it makes sense from china to sudan now. Arabs are ten years out from some real financial issues I think.

Hmm can you have a bank of caps charge that in seconds then let them charge the batteries?
