Eventually I hope we end up with sodium batteries.

But that's probably a long way off still

Not that far off actually, China started producing the first sodium ion battery powered car in series this year

Nice.

The whole sodium story is how we should be going about shit.

We didn't focus on making the best battery and came up with sodium.

A couple college students instead looked for the most abundent and easily accessible thing we can make batteries out of.

Sodium batteries would be a welcome change. Solid state batteries are another interesting technology that looks promising.
