China’s $10 EV Battery Could Trigger a U.S. Auto Shake-Up
Sodium-ion tech is 90% cheaper than lithium and already in 250K vehicles. Could it make U.S. EVs cheaper—and sideline Detroit’s battery strategy?

China’s breakthrough sodium-ion battery — priced at $10/kWh (Bloomberg NEF, 2025) — is a technical marvel. It’s a direct challenge to America’s lithium-dependent auto industry. For context, today’s cheapest lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries cost $75/kWh, while Tesla’s 4680 cells hover near $100/kWh. At one-tenth the price, sodium-ion tech could make budget EVs like the $25,000 Tesla Model 2 financially viable overnight. American potential EV buyers hesitant because of cost will be comforted by this. When it comes.
