And if charging an electric car in 11 minutes without using lithium becomes a reality? That's exactly what the latest prototype of sodium-ion battery presented by BAIC promises, while Chinese manufacturers turn to chemical alternatives to reduce costs, ensure supply and better cope with harsh winters. BAIC bets on the Aurora sodium-ion battery and a recharge in 11 minutes The Beijing-based group claims to have developed a sodium-ion cell that re…
