    Does this mean home battery costs will go up by 30%?

      If you mean battery providers increasing costs by 30%, it depends on how monopolised the industry is.

      In a healthy economy this tactic would fail as they’d lose sales to a competitor who doesn’t do this. In the highly-consolidated corporate oligarchies of today, quite possibly?

      just got your message!

      it depends on supply vs demand but with the cost being so substantially lowered likely putting it into no brainer territory there’s a good chance demand will outstrip supply for a while and your job will be to try your best to avoid dodgy overnight battery sellers
