Thank you. That’s really useful input. I have seen sometimes a measurement of Wh/l but this is only seen in a very few cases.

That aside, the sodium ion sceptics have predictably forgotten how sceptical they were with respect or disrespect to LFP batteries just 5 years ago.
Oh – and most journalists and self-styled “experts” still fail to understand or point out that it’s the VOLUMETRIC energy density of the whole battery PACK that matters most not of the individual cells. This is why China’s (BYD, CATL etc) “blade” battery-packs have become a major EV game-changer – not least for Tesla!
