Wikipedia has a decent (albeit somewhat outdated?) comparison with other battery types.
Seems like sodium-ion batteries are somewhat cheaper, require more space and have lower usable cycles.
Probably also just aa important to note that sodium is much more readily available than lithium and doesn’t require geopolitical wars or slave-labor to acquire.
Agreed, that is an important point. That being said, it was raised in the article, a more "technical" comparison wasn't provided.
