Sodium Ion is about to make Lithium much less of a big deal.

Sodium Ion is great diversity source for batteries, but they are inferior in many respects.

Other than "energy density" they're better in every way imo. Safer, cheaper, more sustainable, wider operating temp range, big fan

Energy density is an important one, but there is also high voltage sag, and overstated capacity if you need a high draw at lower remaining voltage.
