Sodium-ion batteries gain momentum: Unigrid launches commercial deliveries as Altris, Draslovka forge Europe’s first supply chain With lithium prices reaching a two-year high in early 2026, sodium-ion batteries are once again in the spotlight, as innovators on both sides of the Atlantic announce major milestones.

#Sodium-ion batteries are starting to hit the market. 🇺🇸 US company #Unigrid begins big-scale deliveries. Also, 🇪🇺 European firms #Altris and #Draslovka build the continent’s first supply chain, showing this cheaper, #lithium-alternative tech is gaining real momentum in 2026 ⚡🔋.

Today, I brought students and visitors from my course #1KB738 #RechargeableBatteries to visit #Altris AB. While my students have made their own battery cells in the lab, visiting a real battery production line is essential. The energy transition needs talent, and exposure is the first step.
