Just to clarify, the article states these are for low voltage systems inside cars, and not powering cars themselves.

Which makes more sense as the density of Na-ion is ~30% less that Li-ion.

The initial contract is plausibly just for 12V car batteries, but if Zoolnasm's goal is 10GWh/yr, they definitely have their eyes set on larger-scale applications.

Also, if they're actually capable of 190Wh/kg, that's better than current-gen automotive LFP. That's a pretty huge "if," though.

Ah wow, I had current lfp at around 220-250 but that looks like it's on the R&D lines and not in series production yet

I guess with the sheer amount of research being lumped into Lithium batteries at the moment, I would be surprised if it is overtaken by anything short term at least in the auto space. Let's see...
