This past June, the world's biggest battery company walked on stage in Munich and revealed a grid storage system with zero lithium inside. So why is CATL — the king of lithium-ion — suddenly pouring billions into sodium, a chemistry it could have built 30 years ago?
In this video we break down CATL's TENER Sodium grid system and Naxtra sodium car battery: what's actually inside the cell, why sodium lost the race to lithium in the first place, and the one supply-chain question that changes everything. It's not about energy density — it's about building batteries by the billions out of stuff we can never run out of.
We cover how a battery really works, lithium's three big problems (fire, cold, and concentrated supply chains), the grid storage crisis nobody talks about, and where sodium wins — and where lithium still stays king.
