The commercialization of sodium batteries is accelerating. Recently, major industry players revealed that by 2026, sodium battery technology is expected to be widely adopted in battery swapping systems, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and energy storage. This means that sodium batteries and lithium batteries will form a dual-driving pattern—each excelling in different scenarios, with one emphasizing cost advantages and the other maintaining high energy density. For the new energy industry chain, this diversified approach is indeed worth paying attention to. The potential of sodium batteries in energy storage is especially promising, as their low-cost characteristics perfectly meet the urgent demand for large-scale energy storage.

Sodium batteries are really about to take off, so lithium batteries will have to stay at home in quarantine haha. When the time comes, whoever is cheaper will use it, anyway, it's all working for capital.

Whether 2026 can truly be realized depends on how the collateralization rate develops. It's too early to say definitively now.

With such low costs for sodium batteries, can lithium batteries still survive? The real test will be in 2026.

Sodium batteries are really coming, but at this point in 2026, it still feels like we have to wait. Sounds good, but I wonder if lithium battery manufacturers will panic... Energy storage is indeed cheap, but how about stability? Still watching and waiting. The dual-drive team sounds great, but who will be the main and secondary players then is still uncertain. Regarding cost advantages, how much cheaper can consumers actually get? That’s the real question. Big manufacturers are busy in the race, and we investors are just here to watch the show. Sodium batteries are hot, but what about lithium mining? We need to think about backup plans.
