However, their chief scientist Wu Kai said at the China International Battery Fair on April 28, that the firm was targeting small-volume production of all-solid-state batteries by 2027. This was the first time the battery maker had announced a mass-production timeline for the new type of battery.
The world''s largest Sodium-ion Battery energy storage system has gone into operation in Qianjiang, Hubei Province, China. This significant achievement involved the first phase of Datang Group''s 100 MW/200 MWh sodium-ion energy storage project, which was successfully connected to the grid on June 30, 2024.
China''s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, BYD, has officially begun construction on its first-ever sodium-ion battery plant in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province.

The potential applications of solid-state batteries extend beyond passenger
Although sodium-ion batteries are cheaper and more sustainable, their “main bottleneck currently is the low energy density,” Zhang says. Sodium-ion batteries support a shorter range than a lithium-ion battery of the same weight.
China’s first major sodium-ion battery energy storage station is now online, according to state-owned utility China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage. The Fulin Sodium-ion Battery Energy Storage Station entered operation on May 11 in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in southern China.
Chinese companies have since taken the lead in commercializing the technology. Out of 20 sodium battery factories now planned or already under construction around the world, 16 are in China, according to Benchmark Minerals, a consulting firm. In two years, China will have nearly 95 percent of the world’s capacity to make sodium batteries.
Chen Man, a senior engineer at China Southern Power Grid, said [via the South China Morning Post] that once sodium-ion battery energy storage enters the stage of large-scale development, its cost can be reduced by 20-30%. He continued:
A battery energy storage system (BESS) project using sodium-ion technology has been launched in Qingdao, China. It is located in Qingdao North Coast Data Center (QNCDC), in the northeastern town, though the initial announcement contained some ambiguity over whether the project was being launched or had already been brought online.
The most immediately promising use for sodium batteries is for electric grids, the networks of wires and towers that transmit electricity. Batteries for grids are a fast-growing market, especially in China. Tesla said this week that it would build a factory in Shanghai to make lithium batteries for energy providers.
