Obviously they’re not as efficient as lithium-ion because the atom size of sodium is bigger than lithium. However lithium is scarce, sodium is everywhere. While it’s not so effective for small devices, they’re fine for big battery storages. If true, being able to charge in 25 minutes is great.
It depends how much power they can dump in 1 second. If more or the same as lion tech stacks then they will be viable for EVs.
Another thing. Fast charging stationary power might be important for a distributed power grid. Currently one of the problems in some implementations is that excess power from clients cant even be accepted. Fast charging storage might be important for accepting large excess coming in from the grid.

They’re far more useful as stationary power supplies, so really, it doesn’t matter much in most cases that it can fully charge in even 2 hours.
