This year is looking pretty interesting for batteries. We have the Li-on potentially dropping to $100 a KWH, that will probably also mean LifePO4 will probably come down to below $100, maybe $80 and then the introduction of Sodium Ion this year which is meant to get down to $40 a KWH.
So far Sodium Ion isn't delivering on that price drop, while the cars are all cheap but not yet really available the actual cells for sale on aliexpress and alibaba are all a lot more expensive than LifePO4 at the moment. The 13450 cells at 10Ah instead of the 15Ah for LifePO4 and at the moment are also 5x the price. Its just gouged early pricing currently but it should bring the price of home storage and car batteries down less than half of Li-on and LifePO4 but with a lower density.
Interesting year for batteries and EVs, lots of EVs cheaper than ICE vehicles coming out this year as a result.
