The second anyone starts to order it in sizable quantities like for a utility installation or auto production run the prices spike and don’t recover until they hit competitive scale (best case) or some yet unknown scientific breakthrough (worst), all the while trying to catch up to LiIon.
- MaKey 5y agoThe hard science part for the first generation seems to be done, what now follows is scaling up the production. CATL targets 2023 for mass production. As the same production processes for Lithium-ion batteries can be used this doesn't seem unrealistic.
- anonuser123456 5y agoThis is a feature, not a bug. If CATL can make a huge margin, that will incentivize them to scale much more rapidly, which will be good for everyone.
