    “cool, let me know when mass production starts.”

    (“to the best of my knowledge, that is now, immediately.”)

    HiNa opened a 1 GWh sodium-ion battery factory in December 2022. Since then, both BYD and CATL have opened huge sodium-ion battery factories.

      Yup. BYD’s 30GWh/year means 1kwh/second!

      I can’t resist cancelling the units even though it doesn’t actually make sense because it’s a capacity not a volume, as it were, but that’s a 3.6kw factory!
