CATL expects to sell batteries at $60 kWh or less in mid-2024, that 12 months ago it sold for $125 kWh. With further predicted price falls, this will knock $5,000 off the cost to make EVs by 2025.

The price war for power batteries is intensifying, with the world's two largest battery makers reportedly pushing battery costs down further.
You're viewing a single thread.
People should really be thinking about their homes as much/ if not more than EVs.
The cost to convert your home to solar +battery has dropped through the floor.
Depends where you live. IIRC California made it more difficult to have solar installed. Where I am there is a cap on the size of installation I can get, and how much I can produce.
Yes the technology is there and it’s great, but regulatory capture is still a huge problem.
Goddamn PG&E, and soCal Edison are responsible for that.
"Ooo we're in the business of making money, not paying homeowners for generating it with their own panels" bitch shut the fuck up.
Corporations have been holding back progress with bought and paid for legislation for centuries.
If you're building something new, it's a no-brainer, even. You can use panels as the roofing material rather than an additional layer now. There's both fancy products like the Tesla one and more practical options.

If you are pulling a construction loan or doing development, absolutely.
Roll it into the price of development and you can be practically fully independent of the grid out the gate.
Any idea when this happened? I live in a state with cheap electric and a few years ago after doing the calculation it wasn't worth it to invest in solar. I'd love if that's changed in the past 4 years.
Unfortunately that doesn't work for all of us. Solar isn't very viable where I live, since there's not much sunshine.
Pointless comment tbh, you might as well have said "That doesn't work for all of us because some people sleep under a bridge"
