The article also mentions sodium ion batteries as an alternative. Can’t wait to see how they perform in real life.

IIRC there is already an e-scooter you can buy that has a sodium ion battery. From a chinese company (ofc) that I forget the name of. It touts fast charging and basically performs just fin down to -20C.

This one maybe?

48 V and a capacity of 24 Ah

400 W power and a 25 km/h top speed.

They're from $450 to $590, so amazingly priced.

Fun fact: it would not be classified as a e-bike nor a moped in Estonia because it's less than 1000w and max speed is no more than 25 km/h, but an mini-moped, which doesn't need a license to drive, but you have to be older than 16 and need to wear at least a bicycle helmet.

This is big news. Why isn’t everyone already talking about SIBs? Also, the 145 Wh/kg sits neatly between LFP and NMC. As long as the other properties are reasonable, it should stand a chance against NMC.
