Looks as though BYD is making the switch to sodium ion batteries. From https://www.ecoticias.com/en/chinese-battery-sodium-ion/4063/ :

"BYD’s sodium-ion batteries will use a new battery chemistry developed in-house. The company claims its batteries have a range comparable to lithium-ion batteries but with advantages such as faster charging times and higher energy density"

If true this will be a game changer for EVs and make the current lithium-powered generation obsolete overnight.

BYD plans to initially use the sodium-ion batteries produced at this factory in its electric buses. Over time, the company may expand the use of sodium-ion batteries into its electric cars and other applications.

All previous sodium batteries have been too heavy and half the output and as they are using them on buses tells the story
