Superwave Sodium-Ion Batteries to Enter Mass Commercialization in 2026, Driving Rapid Capacity Expansion Amid Strong Sales and Production

In 2026, the sodium-ion battery industry will enter a critical phase of large-scale commercialization. Leveraging its comprehensive industrial chain layout and technological expertise, Chaowei Group is experiencing strong demand and robust production and sales at its sodium-ion battery manufacturing base. Since launching its sodium-ion battery R&D strategy in 2020, Chaowei has established a full-spectrum presence across materials development, cell manufacturing, and system integration, while collaborating with top-tier partners across the supply chain to overcome multiple core technical challenges. In terms of performance, Chaowei’s sodium-ion batteries retain over 93% of their discharge capacity at -30°C, making them suitable for energy storage and electric bicycles in extremely cold regions. When used in e-bikes, these batteries can be charged to 80% capacity in just 30 minutes. They offer a cycle life exceeding 1,500 cycles—translating to more than five years of normal use—and have passed rigorous safety tests, including nail penetration, extreme overcharging, and thermal shock, while also achieving excellent waterproofing ratings. On the market application front, Chaowei has forged strategic partnerships with leading e-bike manufacturers such as Yadea and Aima, and is actively advancing large-scale deployment of sodium-ion batteries in energy storage systems. The company currently operates two stable production lines, with eight additional lines under installation and commissioning. Its sodium-ion battery production base in Anqing, Anhui Province, is planned to reach a total capacity of 10–15 GWh.
