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 .

Uh... the numbers add up to 101.

razm@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

Yes, rounding can do that sometimes.

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

bitcrafter@lemmy.sdf.org · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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

These batteries are 101% efficient.
