New battery technologies like sodium-ion and solid-state batteries are being developed to address the limitations of lithium-ion batteries in terms of cost, power, and material sourcing.

As EV sales boom and grids seek more energy storage, researchers are racing to develop batteries that are cheaper, more powerful, and less reliant on hard-to-source materials. Lithium-ion still dominates, but sodium-ion and solid-state technologies are moving from lab to market.
