Sodium ion sounds like a very promising battery tech for a lot of things due to sodium's abundance and ease of access, but it's less energy dense than lithium so I still see lithium battery tech being king in most applications where battery size and weight matter - portable electronics and EVs mostly. Sodium ion tech sounds best suited for grid-scale energy storage, home backup/solar batteries, and other such applications where cost is more important than size or weight.
