  1. Deliveries of 🔸the world's first mass-produced electric vehicle equipped with a sodium-ion battery 🔸will begin in January 2024.

    According to CarNewsChina, they're being produced by ♦️JAC Motors♦️a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, through its new Yiwei EV brand.

    From the report:
    The #Yiwei #EV #hatchback will have a cylindrical 🔺sodium-ion 🔺pack from Beijing-based #HiNa #Battery and adopt JAC's UE (Unitized Encapsulation) module technology.

    #UE is also known as a "honeycomb design" because of its appearance.

    It is another battery structure concept like #CATL's #CTP (cell-to-pack) or #BYD's #BladeBattery.

    Yiwei is a new EV brand under Anhui Jianghuai Automobile (JAC), established in 2023.

    JAC's parent company, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Holdings (#JAG ), is 50% state-owned, and 50% belongs to #Volkswagen Group.

    The German automotive giant acquired its stake in 2020 in an unprecedented move to invest in China's state-owned car maker.
