The world's first mass-production EV powered by sodium-ion batteries will be a variant of the Changan Nevo A06. Sporting CATL's Naxtra battery – which functions at –50 °C and won't catch fire – the move signals a genuine shift away from lithium.

The Smart ForTwo was a much-loved microcar that came with an array of customization options. But its biggest strength was its small footprint, as it took up half of a parking spot. I’m happy to say its successor follows that same recipe.
