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.

    That’s not bad if the price is right.

    I’d be willing to buy one for ~$5-8k.

      5-8k for a car in this day and age? That’s the price of a scooter

        Citröen Ami.

          The Ami starts for substantially more than that.

          And even then, it’s not legally classified as a car. It has virtually no crash safety, a top speed of 28mph assuming no incline, and a real world range of 40 miles.

          Don’t get me wrong, I like the Ami, but it’s a scooter alternative more than a car alternative.

      I’d pay $15-20, depending on how well it worked.
