How do they manage that you need more sodium to store comparable amount of energy? Larger size?

As far as I know they are equivalent density to LiPho, I don't know how they do it but it should allow similar range to existing current Li-ion batteries.

Density might be similar, but sodium can accumulate and release much less energy than Lithium, and it is heavier. It means that similar batteries, similar density, would need to be larger and heavier.

That's the disadvantage of sodium over Lithium
