As the electric vehicle (EV) market expands, the search for a sustainable and cost-effective power source intensifies. While lithium-ion has been the standard, its limitations are clear. The future demands a better solution: the Sodium-ion battery. As a pioneering Na-ion cell manufacturer, Highstar Sodium is leading this charge with our advanced Prismatic sodium-ion cell, a product perfectly engineered for the demanding world of EV battery swapping.
The battery swapping model, a cornerstone of future urban mobility and Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms, requires a battery that is not only powerful but also exceptionally safe, durable, and affordable. This is precisely where the Highstar Sodium Prismatic sodium-ion cell excels, making it the definitive choice for next-generation EV power systems.
Why Highstar’s Prismatic Sodium-ion Cell is the Superior Choice for Swapping:
- Cost-Effective by Design: The core of our advantage lies in the affordable and abundant sodium material. Our manufacturing process for the Prismatic sodium-ion cell is highly optimized, allowing us to offer a superior Na-ion battery solution at a 30-70% lower cost than lithium-ion alternatives.
- Engineered for Superior Safety: The inherent safety of our Na-ion battery chemistry is enhanced by the robust, stable structure of our Prismatic sodium-ion cell. This design minimizes risks associated with physical impact and thermal runaway, making every Sodium-ion battery pack built with our cells incredibly safe for high-frequency swapping operations.
- Unmatched Low-Temperature Reliability: A key weakness of other batteries is performance in the cold. The Highstar Sodium Prismatic sodium-ion cell maintains over 90% of its capacity even at -40°C. This ensures that vehicles powered by our Sodium-ion battery technology perform reliably in any climate, a critical factor for global swapping networks.
- Exceptional Durability and Cycle Life: A long cycle life battery is essential for the economics of battery swapping. Our Prismatic sodium-ion cell is engineered to endure over 10,000 charge-discharge cycles. This remarkable longevity means fewer battery replacements, lower operational costs, and a more sustainable ecosystem.
For any company building the future of EV swapping, the choice of battery is fundamental. The Highstar Sodium Prismatic sodium-ion cell is not just a component; it is the reliable, safe, and cost-effective heart of your entire operation.
