What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Vendor specs are compelling and orders are real-scale, but everything is pre-deployment and single-sourced from CATL; the density gap vs LIB is a real constraint and confirmed-operational grid capacity is still zero.
Next
Watch for first HyperStrong grid deliveries and independent cycle-life / round-trip-efficiency field data before treating sodium-ion grid storage as bankable.
