Volkswagen CEO ALL-NEW Sodium-Ion Battery FINALLY Hit The Market
In a world of innovative technology, a new development has presented itself in the automotive industry. A sodium battery has been used for the very first time in a Volkswagen car, an incredible milestone that stands to benefit drivers everywhere. This powerful battery is not only long-lasting and more efficient than traditional lithium-ion batteries but also cheaper and better for the environment.
How will the sodium battery perform in a real-world setting? Will it be as efficient as lithium-ion batteries? And most importantly, can it deliver the same performance and reliability level we've expected from Volkswagen cars? Let’s dive in!
The first mass-produced sodium-ion batteries have found their way into an electric vehicle. The model is part of VolksWagen's joint venture in China called Sehold. It has a sodium ion battery can go 157 miles on a single charge and is much cheaper and safer than lithium batteries.
The mass-produced pack, supplied by HiNa Battery and fitted in the Sehol brand's smallest model, the E10X, which is a compact urban electric vehicle with a very reasonable price and excellent range that Volkswagen sells in great quantities in China, is a perfect example.
The joint venture was set up in December 2017 and is based in Hefei, the capital city of Anhui province. Volkswagen and JAC each owned 50% of the equity. In May 2020, Volkswagen spent about $ 245 million to increase its share venture stake.
Volkswagen's stake in the joint venture increased from 25% to 75% due to the acquisition, making the German carmaker the second foreign manufacturer to control a majority position in a Chinese vehicle production firm after Tesla's fully owned Shanghai facility.
Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess said that his business has invested around €1 billion into the JAC partnership.
