Key Risks
Sodium-ion batteries currently have lower energy density than lithium-ion, which may limit their adoption in certain applications.
The engineered active materials they require are not yet produced at scale, potentially creating supply chain bottlenecks.
Competition from established lithium-ion battery manufacturers poses a significant challenge.
Opportunities
Expanding into increasingly lifetime-sensitive applications as cycle life improves.
Leveraging partnerships with universities and national labs for technology advancement.
Capitalizing on tax credits and incentives like those in the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce costs.
