Google "CATL sodium ion battery" and then get back to us

The reason the limits are "perceived" is that most people don't keep up with the rapid technological advances driving the industry. Soon there will be batteries that last a million charging cycles and cost a fraction of lithium ion. At that point the biggest limitation will be charging infrastructure, which is being continuously built out.
