KPIT Technologies, a Pune-headquartered automotive software and engineering solutions provider, is conducting field trials of sodium-ion battery packs in electric three-wheelers. The sodium-ion battery technology has been designed and developed by KPIT, for automotive as well as stationary applications.
Sodium is more abundant and widely available than lithium. KPIT’s research focus is to develop sodium-based cathode materials for high-capacity sodium-ion batteries. It is also designing and developing high-capacity pouch and prismatic cells that can be charged faster than lithium-ion cells and enable longer-life modules.
The company is working to improve the sodium-ion battery performance, cost and durability.

Congratulations to KPIT for it’s Indigenous development of SODIUM ION BATTERY for 3 wheelers.It is a great achievement for avoiding ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION particularly in India where the use of Auto rickshaws is used high for public transport.
Very good positive news it will not effect environment also as I am holding kpit share I will add more congrats to entire team
When will these be available for home storage applications? In Keral the Electricity Board is changing the night usage charges unbearable for Solar energy producers on grid.
