How does this normalize it globally and not just give China an advantage where you’ll see more EVs there? They’re already trying to push cheaper EVs globally and all the other countries are freaking out about anti-competitive practices. Unless that cost can be bought by anyone building an EV, it doesn’t really help.
The cells can be bought by anyone but that number doesn't take shipping into account. Alibaba or www.gobelpower.com I have bought 16 cells and getting ready to buy 32 more. Its more that other car manufactures are not using them in there vehicles and they are making luxury vehicals instead what people really need. I really wish other country's had production of cells for sale. I can't find a single one thats not China produced that will sell to the public.
interesting, are you putting them in vehicles? I'm surprised people aren't flipping conversions, maybe its not profitable enough?
I'm using them for solar storage. Replacing a lead acid battery.
I would like to do vehical conversion one day, if prices don't come down on new. Or better yet, hopfully vehical manufactures standardized battery cell size and availably so replacing batteries in used electric isn't a $30000 nightmare.
