- askvictor 9y agoPossibly bulk pricing?
- ju-st 9y agoI googled it, e.g. "Since 2014, the cost of completed packs has crashed from $400/kWh to below $200/kWh for some stationary storage systems, he says. Similar reductions have hit the automotive market. GM has said it’s paying LG $145/kWh for the cells in the 2017 Bolt battery pack." http://spectrum.ieee.org/transportation/advanced-cars/2017-is-the-makeorbreak-year-for-teslas-gigafactory http://spectrum.ieee.org/transportation/advanced-cars/2017-i... Several other websites mention 200USD as the price Tesla pays for the packaged cells.
- greglindahl 9y agoYou're comparing a small consumer product to a large industrial installation? Tesla's Powerpack is an industrial-scale system.
- olegkikin 9y agoTesla Powerwall is a consumer product. https://www.tesla.com/powerwall https://www.tesla.com/powerwall
- maxerickson 9y agoLarge installations are a different product: https://www.tesla.com/powerpack https://www.tesla.com/powerpack
- greglindahl 9y agoRight, and the big industrial system I'm referring to is the flow battery described in this article. Which I'm sure you read.
- donquichotte 9y agoWhy the downvotes? I have not found a source that will provide me with Li-Ion cells (without battery management systems) for < 300 USD/kWh
