Same in the US too. LiFEPO4 storage batteries are available cheaper than lead-acid for equal or even higher capacity.

Until the trumptard tariffs wreck our markets at least

Sodium Ion batteries would be a better weight compromise than going to shitty old lead batteries. The new sodium batteries have almost no downsides but aren’t quite as energy dense as lithium types. So they might be great in a large vehicle that’s already going to be heavy, not so much in a smaller car. Saving the lithium stuff for smaller things is best (phones, laptops, etc)
