In both cases, the chemistry used is LFP (lithium-ferrophosphate).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts estimate that, when they reach sufficient scale, sodium batteries could cost half as much as LFP; moreover, by 2025 they should match the capacity that LFP had at the beginning of the decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will therefore be ideal for low-cost electric cars. Another noteworthy point is that their low-temperature performance is far superior to that of lithium batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Huaihai will provide its resources, including application and marketing scenarios, and FinDreams will provide products and services, according to the company&#8217;s press release<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sodium-ion battery technology is maturing and has broad market prospects, <strong>FinDreams<\/strong> will accelerate the construction of the sodium battery project in Xuzhou, said He Long, executive director of BYD&#8217;s battery unit, according to Huaihai&#8217;s press release yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BYD recently obtained its 6 millionth new energy vehicle, to establish itself as one of the leading manufacturers of electric cars.
