Small self-plug: we're engineers / designers from France who built a repairable and fireproof e-bike li-ion battery! If you're interested in the concept, we're looking for resellers everywhere! Check it at https://get.gouach.com
Why is this always the top voted comment on any battery related post?
That's pretty cool. Are you on target to ship?
I would argue a dynamic tension between IPR exploiters investing and state funded public interest had helped. It depends on time, cost and difficulty, with breakthroughs in both domains.
What a nice read and I love the conclusion! So often it's really hard to know why something will make it big but with hindsight so easy to understand why it did.
The most instructive (how much research has zig zagged) and depressing (how far we still are from what we needed yesterdecade) reading.
> has fallen by more than 97% per kilowatt-hour
So how much did it fall per MWh?
You're not going to believe this, but they have also fallen by 97% per MWh.
Even more: in the old days, any buyer slurping up production by the MWh would have noticeably tipped the balance of supply and demand.
By the pound, they’re 99.1% cheaper.
