Trump is definitely stopping this for China to keep hold of the market.
CATL claimed it would be able to make $10/kWh Na-ion batteries about two months ago. They claim to have off-take from some car companies. My question: why is this about cars? IMO, this should be about storage *so* *cheap*, it makes cheap intermittent generation the more obvious choice than ever. Right? I mean, if $100 Li-ion is good for 4 hours, isn’t $10 Na-ion good for 40 hours? I know, not quite – it needs more space, but, it’s still 24 hours of renewable generation / storage that competes with anything else on cost.
am I in r/energy? good, I am.
All you solar haters are about to see what the free market is really about. It’s too bad we don’t have one here in the states. Oil and gas, go broke and kick rocks — adapt or die. See you in 2 years when the reality finally sets in.
How they made batteries 90% cheaper, again.
They already fell by 97% over the last three decades:

Stock pitch?
