Interesting. Is the idea just that they're optimizing for cost, rather than optimizing for watt-hours per kilogram? I.e. if it doesn't matter how much it weighs, you can use a simple, cheap sort of battery that wouldn't be practical in a phone or a car?
- Hermitian909 5y agoThe price point is attractive but this is more than a clever insight into optimizing for different use cases. Previous attempts at these batteries have run into a lot of operational problems and have had trouble keeping the batteries up and running long enough for them to be useful. There's a lot of novel engineering and chemistry that's gone into operationalizing the system.
