Dear reader,

Imagine charging your phone, but instead of the usual battery, it's powered by something much more abundant – sodium!

Northvolt from Sweden and KPIT Technologies from Pune are pioneering a shift in how we power our gadgets, including potentially your future electric car, using sodium-ion batteries. They're ditching the pricey lithium for sodium, a move that could make EVs not just safer but also lighter on your wallet.


Also, a big shout-out to KPIT Technologies from Pune! They're leading the way with their own sodium-ion battery technology, aiming to make electric vehicles more affordable for everyone.

Plug in, Power up,

Raghu
