CATL's sodium ion batteries are slated to soon (1-2 years, mostly just mundane factory construction and logistics) to hit $40/kwhr. No nickel / cobalt / etc.
I think LFP is basically already under that as well (I think they are in the 60-70/kwhr range).
For grid storage, that is probably the only metric that matters: cost per kwhr of storage (and sufficient cycle endurance).
- thfuran 3y agoAnd aren’t those batteries meant to be comparable in density to current lipo, to exceed that handily in their next generation?
- CyberDildonics 3y agoHow can LFP be both under $40/kwhr and in the 60-70/kwhr range?
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoSodium ion was the $40/kwh and LFP is $70/kwh
- justsomeadvice0 3y agoI think GP intended to convey "under the price in the article" ($83/kwhr).
