Here seems to be one what the grandparent suggested, an EV with a SIB battery.

China specific. So not really mass market. Though I am glad to see that there are cars entering the market with sodium ion batteries. That does give me hope for the long term future of EV.

Wait until 2030'ies. Then you're going to see cheap mass market SIB EVs.

Tuning SIB chemistry and getting enough factory capacity up takes a while.
