JAC Motors, a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, unveiled the first mass-produced EV with a sodium-ion battery through its new Yiwei brand. Although sodium-ion battery tech has a lower density than lithium-ion, its lower costs, simpler and more abundant supplies and superior cold-weather performance could help accelerate mass EV adoption.

    A solution to this would be an extra expansion battery that you could buy or rent as an add-on only when needed.

      …or rent a vehicle with the fuel savings from driving your EV most of the year, and skip putting a couple thousand km on your car over a long weekend.

        You still pay the cost of driving a car a couple thousand km though, right?

      If we’re going all in with expansion packs we should add a rumble pack as well 😏

      or don’t buy city car for intercity trips. Get li-ion powered cars or wait for them to make model with bigger range.
