You can buy sodium batteries.

Yup. Sodium batteries are real. China is building more factories and converting LFP ones. 2026 is the big ramp up and prices should be going down the next couple of years.

There's some BESS already online too.

I am aware sodium batteries exist, this is a mostly sodium, hybrid lithium sodium battery. A new technology, according to them. That's why I said I'm surprised no one has thought to put those two together specifically.
