A big advantage of its sodium cells is also the fact that they can retain more than 92% of their capacity even when operating at -20°C (-4 Fahrenheit) and discharging at those freezing temps.

That is very promising to hear. My current vehicle, which uses first-generation lithium batteries (made on 2011), loses almost half of its range at that temperature, and that is before heating.
