I've always thought Na batteries had a lot of potential. I dont think they are the next power breakthrough but they are cheaper and easier to make/recycle than lithium. Aswell as longer lifespan during normal usage

Nice.
;)
I would have thought a key advantage of sodium-ion batteries is that it uses abundant stuff (sodium) instead of rare stuff (lithium).
Doesn't adding vanadium break that advantage?
Vanadium is more common than you'd think, actually. So, I'm not sure, but it may well still be cheaper.
