Lithium batteries have dropped 90% in price in the last decade.

That means battery prices will be coming down, right? Right?

No. For a process to have an impact to the economy at large it must either be substantially cheaper or be given enough time.

You say that like they havent been? The price per kWh for lithium batteries has been consistently falling for over a decade. I see no reason to believe that this tech wouldn’t result in further price decreases if it could be built at scale.
