LiFePO4 can typically give >1500 cycles. There is some way to go if sodium is at >400 cycles.
Temperature dynamics is not mentioned. Li-ion gets hot during discharge, requiring cooling systems for fast charge/discharge cycles. If Sodium does not suffer from overheating issues then this is an advantage over Li-ion.
The manufacturing process will also be key. It needs to be as cheap as Li-ion. With Tesla and BYD scaling up Li-ion production, Li-ion will dominate in the near future, 2-3 years.
Faradion demonstrates proof-of-concept sodium-ion electric bike
E-bike powered by Faradion prototype Na-ion battery pack. For the proof-of-concept, the cells were manufactured to be larger than necessary to avoid unnecessary costs and lengthy manufacturing processes at this early stage. Click to enlarge. British battery R&D company Faradion has demonstr...
