KPIT testing sodium-ion battery packs in three-wheelers
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.

[…] KPIT, which has a strong foothold in software development, integration, and validation for electrification programs for major OEMs in the global automotive space, has developed this technology in cooperation with the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) based in Pune. The scientific team made contributions to material synthesis, characterization, and battery testing. […]

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.
Very good positive news it will not effect environment also as I am holding kpit share I will add more congrats to entire team
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.
[…] KPIT Technologies is performing subject trials utilizing sodium-ion battery packs in electrical three-wheelers. They count on sodium-ion battery packs to have lesser charging time and value 25-30% lower than LIBs, with a cycle life of 3000-6000 cycles (till 80% State of Well being). Nevertheless, regardless of sodium’s plentiful availability, varied consultants predict that originally, these batteries might not be cheaper than LIBs as a consequence of underdeveloped provide chains for sodium-ion batteries, resulting in restricted manufacturing and barely increased bills.
