Syntropic Power and UNIGRID have entered a partnership to commercialize UNIGRID’s sodium chromium oxide battery chemistry in North America.

I’ve been hearing about these for a few years now. Huge if they work out at a large scale.

    Mercedes will apparently be introducing SS batteries (not to be confused with the SS from Nazi Germany) in 2030. Not too far in the grand scheme of things. Then 2 or 3 years after that every car will have them unless China jumps the gun.

      BYD is rumouredo introduce them next year. They filed multiple patents this year and the rumours have been ongoing for years that 2027 is the target year.

      You had me at “not to be confused with…” but I’m pretty sure they made the batteries for them too.
