    You're wrong.

    Would like to be convinced. Nexpower isn't doing a good job of convincing.

    Glad that you like the product. Hope it works out well for you. The product today seems very hacky, which is fine for those looking for that type of product. Personally, looking for something reliable and safe at a reasonable price.

    Third-party testing would go a long distance to assuage the many concerns.

    why stop with them... I say, make Toyota a third party to test their vehicles before selling them.

    But cold climates have only been here for a month or so...
    I live where it gets to +100° and -5°. And my car does not sit in a climate controlled garage.
    How does Sodium handle those temps? It not like the Gen3 has any TMS other than the wafting cabin air through the pack.
    But the pack has to start the engine when powered up.

    There are spec sheets on all the different chemistries of the cells. I would think 'real life' testing just confirms those numbers.
    What are the numbers for this new Sodium cell?

    In post #131 you said ''sodium is better than Lithium" but it seems you went from NiMh direct to sodium.

    I'll wait for more main stream manufacturers to start offering sodium in consumer products before I jump on the band wagon and start cheering on this new tech.
