No mention of patent license costs as a separate line item from materials? Boo.

surprise, 50% of the cost is the cathode metals

edit: removed 'precious' for the precious

I don't think you know what "precious metals" means. Not even one of those listed is one. This will get you up to speed .

[–] EnderLaw 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Uh... the numbers add up to 101.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Yes, rounding can do that sometimes.

[–] Gpinmg 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They are talking about $101/kWh, not percent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But there are % signs after all the numbers...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

These batteries are 101% efficient.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

They charge as you use them!
