Sodium-ion batteries could further transform the industry by reducing costs and critical mineral reliance. IEA’s report states, “In 2023, leading battery manufacturers announced expansion plans for sodium-ion batteries, such as BYD, Northvolt, and CATL, which initially sought to reach mass production by the end of the same year.
Recent analysis has shown that the latest sodium-ion battery packs can even undercut the cost of LFP batteries thanks to their cheaper raw materials. The result is that sodium-ion technology can deliver low-cost EVs with sufficient range to suit commuters and city drivers in particular. China has already recognised this potential.
Battery raw materials like lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have experienced significant price fluctuations over the past five years. Figures 1 and 2 show the development of material spot prices between 2018 and 2023.
And so more and more of the technological innovations introduced into the battery are aimed at reducing costs, even if at the same time features such as vehicle range tend to deteriorate. The largest single contributor to the cost of battery cells is the materials used in them, especially the cathode materials.
Sodium-ion batteries are now beginning to enter the EV market. Just how far they will go in competing with shorter-range lithium batteries remains to be seen and depend on economic headwinds and materials science advances. You can be sure, at least, that you’ll be hearing a lot more about sodium-ion EVs.
