Hina Presents Sodium-Ion Battery Solution For Commercial Vehicles

Chinese manufacturer HiNa Battery has introduced a new sodium-ion battery solution for use in commercial vehicles. According to the company, the battery cells have an energy density of more than 165 watt-hours per kilogram and can be fully charged in 20 to 25 minutes. HiNa is positioning the new solution as an economical alternative to existing lithium-based systems, particularly in terms of charging time and cost.

The product portfolio includes four battery types, with the K150 and K210 models intended for short-haul transportation and the K280 and K350 models for logistics applications. HiNa also touts stable discharge performance over a temperature range of -40°C to 45°C, and a service life of more than 8,000 charge cycles with continuous fast charging. The battery systems are said to have a temperature rise of less than 10°C during fast charging.

The company has been working with sodium-ion technology since it was founded in 2017. According to the manufacturer, the first applications in two-wheelers, cars, and stationary storage systems have already been realized. Previous collaborations, such as with automaker JAC and its Sehol brand, have resulted in prototypes and compact vehicles equipped with sodium-ion batteries.
