Here’s what the article says about cost:
> For a 25-year project, he estimates that Gravitricity would cost $171 for each megawatt-hour. Jessika Trancik, an energy storage researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says that number is aspirational and still needs to be supported with field data. But Schmidt’s calculation of the lifetime cost per megawatt-hour for lithium-ion batteries, $367, is more than twice as much. Flow batteries, a promising grid-scale technology that stores charge in large tanks of liquid electrolyte, come in at $274 per megawatt-hour
