After reading the article it seems like a sideways step. They said the energy density wasn't any better than LiPo and wouldn't necessarily be any cheaper.

well if they are more stable/safe that could be a major plus.

Big if, considering how sodium reacts to water.

More likely they are doing this because there is a lot more sodium that is relatively easy to get (can get it from salt) compared to the amount of lithium, which is somewhat restricted.
