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 .

naw, dont really care.. didnt really put that much effort into it. didnt expect a pedant.

It's the internet. People only know how to converse via pedantics

Let us make shit up and complain when someone points it out.

Wow. I guess people don't know how to take a joke

Uh... the numbers add up to 101.

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

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

These batteries are 101% efficient.

They charge as you use them!

…explosions not guaranteed not to not unhappen.
