At today’s prices, a Tesla Megapack is estimated to cost about $1 million for 3.9 MWh, or $1 billion for 3.9 GWh.
Based on that, my back-of-the-napkin math says the cost of charging and discharging the pack every day for 7+ years would be about $0.10/kWh.
That’s at today’s prices, but prices are still falling an average of 12-15% per year.
And I’m not convinced that even small-scale nuclear will be cost-competitive in the future, but time will tell.
