JAC Motors, a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, unveiled the first mass-produced EV with a sodium-ion battery through its new Yiwei brand. Although sodium-ion battery tech has a lower density than lithium-ion, its lower costs, simpler and more abundant supplies and superior cold-weather performance could help accelerate mass EV adoption.

    That’s not bad if the price is right.

    I’d be willing to buy one for ~$5-8k.

      5-8k for a car in this day and age? That’s the price of a scooter

      I’d pay $15-20, depending on how well it worked.

        Who ever said brand new?

        Might want to brush up on your reading comprehension, ‘mate’.

          It’s a post about a new vehicle, when you talk about “buying one” it’s clearly inferred you’re buying from the factory.

          Also, there’s no need to be a complete dick. It’s not a good look for you

            No, it’s not inferred at all. The vast majority of people buying cars buy them used.

            You’re just desperate to justify your assumption.
