    Based on some numbers I looked up a couple of years ago: LiPo 15¢/Wh Flywheel 15¢/Wh Compressed air 12¢/Wh Pumped hydro 11¢/Wh

    I’ll try to dig up the sources when I get home, but the cost advantage isn’t too large.

      Thanks! I guess the hydro is with natural reservoirs?

    Just cause lithium ion is pretty subsidied and quite energy dense
