Wonder what the initial cost would be for these batteries ?
Another question ? when new inventions or products come to the market and the cost is way over the heads of adverage people , is the curve when the price comes down to more earth like levels where everyone can afford it getting smaller ?
What I mean is ? the amount of time to wait to where most people can afford it, as in ? decades ago ? we would have to wait 2 years ? 5 years ? 10 years when the prices would be more reasonable.

These days, the price usually tanks after 1 or 2 years with global competition and production scaling up. The high end market (medical, military) usually adopts first, then production ramps up and prices fall. Think of new iPhones - price drops after 6 months and Apple doesn't have much perceived equivalents.
