When will we see any consumer products utilizing sodium ion batteries at this price point? A 10kwh battery for less than 1000 USD certainly would change a lot of calculations around home solar.

Alas, those are the theoretical values. The demand for batteries is pretty much infinite at this point compared to supply. CATL is supposed to have them in some degree of mass production already.

The Sodium Ion battery should enable the cheap 200 mile city car that about 4-5 billion people in the world want. If it gets to the price point it is the true revolution of EVs, not fancy high-density stuff, although sodium-sulfur will obviously be a similar revolution if/when it gets figured out.
