Battery prices are collapsing and we are at an inflection point where electric vehicles will soon be more economical to purchase, drive and maintain for a much greater number of people. This is as inevitable as the phaseout of coal.
Oh it tipped a few years ago. It’s just still being implemented. There may be less startup to ramping up fossil fuel plants still, but solar is cheaper to build and operate
Yeah, I was shopping for lithium on phosphatase leisure batteries maybe two years ago and was looking at spending over £1000 per battery. Now those batteries are not much over £100 and prices still seem to be falling.
LiFePo (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is heavier than traditional Lithium Ion batteries for the same amount of energy storage, but doesn’t degrade when discharged to zero the way traditional Lithium Ion does.

Unless you live in the US where tarrifs will keep that from being a reality.
Solar panels also seems to be on a tipping point

What would one use lithium on phosphatase leisure batteries for? I’m not familiar with those
Well, you know…sometimes you just need a vibrator that can go a continuous month between recharges…
That looks like autocorrect or text-to-speech mangled ‘lithium iron phosphate’
