I think one of the few weaknesses of EVs is reliance on lead-acid to start the system. I think they do that to allow starting in the cold. They don't want to drain the lithium battery to keep clocks and locks running while allowing the lithium battery to go offline. The key is the ability to keep lithium warm on a cold night. It's not a problem if lithium is plugged in all night and can apply heat but if parked at the airport in winter for two weeks... Surely some engineer can think of a better way.

Distributed manufacturing means less global shipping and a new economic model of distributed rather than centralized operations , such as in Solar , food, etc. The Sodium batteries will be the majority of batteries because sodium is so much more abundant on earth, far less processing and it is far safer. Of Course Super cars are sexy ! but for the transition to all EV's we need the Aptera !! and other super efficient, inexpensive , oh did I say inexpensive ?

I'm confused about one of the "Cons" for the sodium ion battery. You said that sodium ion had a shorter lifespan, yet the next chart shows up to 50,000 charge cycles. Is the "lifespan" reference in regard to the lower energy density, instead of the number of charge cycles?

On previous episodes of The Current, we have extensively covered several battery recycling facilities here in the USA and we have delivered statistics you are looking for. Most of that coverage has revolved around partnerships between Redwood Materials and the major EV producers.

" NY, CA, and MN appear to have well defined policies but the rest is a jumble of guideline to nothing at all. ISRI when on to state that: "Approximately 47 percent of respondents mistakenly believe lithium-ion batteries from EVs are not recyclable, while 37 percent are unaware that recycled lithium-ion batteries can be used to produce new EV batteries. Additionally, 39 percent of respondents did not know that critical minerals within EV batteries can be recycled multiple times without significant performance loss." Personally, given the state of the industry in the US, I would only lease an EV until there's a clear process from purchase, to ongoing maintenance, to recycling.
