All of which the new sodium batteries solve. Massively improved cycle life, completely safe, and the environmental cost is a tiny fraction of what it is with lithium-based.
I don’t get why there aren’t 50 companies rushing to produce it at-scale for in-place batteries. They should be chomping at the bit trying to get government contracts to install massive battery parks.
Maybe it is just too new that they want to see how the small batteries do in the field.

I do believe industrial scale sodium battery systems are ramping up.

There is likely some level of industrial inertia and ramp-up impact.
