Sodium is obviously better option even for cars in very cold climates (which is somewhat of a niche (tho lfp cold gates even in mild climates)) and IMO CATL et al will charge premium for this while they can.

But initial claim was “fraction of the cost, tomorrow” which is super incorrect.

I did not say tomorrow. It will definitely take time.

What I'm opposing is flippantly relegating a new technology with real benfits, that the largest manufacturer of lithium batteries is significantly betting on, to the 0.01% of the market.

You say 0.01%, largest manufacturer of lithium batteries says 50%. If you meet half way it's still about 25% which is significant.

    Oh god, of course it's mr undecided. Go thru years of his hype videos and decide if ANY of his predictions were right. Goes well with EV viking and "just (don't) have a think".

    Yes, eventually it might be 50%, but right now you can't even get _specs_ from CATL while LFPs are traded like commodity.
