    Any plans or timeline for the Plug-In Battery to switch to sodium?

    There are no plans for the plug-in it will remain with the NCM lithium.

    3 have been installed @ Hybrid Pit so far with success. Owners of them are really liking the bump in MPG and stability in the overall function of the power train since. (These have all been regular V3 models, not the GT since it is not available yet for public consumption for another month). Long term, we should all remain cautiously optimistic for the community at large's sake because this has great potential to be far greater than the Lithium option.

    With very little seat time with them, I can say they run really cool. Like on a 100 degree day, they peak at around 95 degrees at each of the 3 temp sensors and the one vehicle (2012) with a tired engine at 230k was still easily getting 50-52 mpg with A/C blasting and not taking it too easy on the test drive.

    Get on the email list. Then when they come in you'll get an email. Then order it.
    That's what I did... Shipped the same day, got it in 3-4 days....

    Sodium chemistry batteries are difficult to sort through and source for the hobbiest EV markets. Historically before diyelectriccar failed there were individuals in China that would organize a group buy to a us entity.

    Has anyone reached out to the 2 remaining entities on this front?

    If full specs exist along with cycle and temperature graphs there are still individuals with conversions that would take a risk on these. Guessing openinverter folks and one other forum for ebike/ motorcycles I can’t think of at the moment

    You implied you had something to do with my decision.
    You certainly didn't. You are very careless in your decisions.
    I would say you hurt sales.

    "I" know, but you apparently don't.
