Their electronics will need major redesign because sodium battery voltages drop a lot more than lithium does during the discharge cycle. https://undecidedmf.com/how-catl-made-batteries-90-cheaper-and-what-happens-next/ Large LFP auctions seem to be running US$50 to US$60 a kwh as of a month ago: https://reneweconomy.com.au/watershed-moment-big-battery-storage-prices-hit-record-low-in-huge-china-auction/
