THE FIRST EV WITH A LITHIUM-FREE SODIUM BATTERY HITS THE ROAD IN JANUARY

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

JAC Motors is launching an electric vehicle with a sodium-ion battery through its Yiwei brand. Sodium-ion batteries have lower density than lithium-ion batteries, but their lower cost, more abundant supplies, and superior cold-weather performance make them viable for mass EV adoption. The Yiwei EV will have a 252 km range with a 25 kWh capacity. Deliveries of the vehicle will begin in January.
