    Sodium explodes on contact with water, having a barrier or two is great, if you use them in cars it’s going to get punctured at times, what with tons of vehicle crashing into things at high speeds and all.

      Sodium ion batteries don’t use sodium metal. They use sodium oxides as the cathode.

      Some sodium ion batteries use an aqueous electrolyte, meaning they’re full of water.

        Ah, so they’ve already exploded, thus rendering them safe for use.

          You could still stub your toe on them, so not completely safe
