The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

carnewschina.com - Catl reveals one shell two cells design as cycle sodium batteries hit year target

Same physical size and shape for either chemistry--your choice. Interchangeable.

20-yr sodium battery good for cars everywhere, especially in colder climates.

Lithium battery for warmer climates and higher power.

Car wears out before battery, especially given the 20-yr battery life. Replace car every 10-12 yrs, just transfer the existing battery from the old car.

Trucks and delivery vehicles will use sodium due to cost to buy AND operate.
