Sodium-ion batteries are approaching lithium-ion battery density. Researchers think they can reach and surpass lithium battery density, but that seems unlikely.

Until that happens we should switch to sodium-ion batteries for stationary uses, such as in homes an businesses and leave the lithium-ion batteries for portable usage such as vehicles and portable electronics.

Not even close. At best something like LFP, but not the peak of li-ion.

Stationary systems do not call for conventional batteries. They would be something else entirely if we are serious about the problem.
