CATL expects to sell batteries at $60 kWh or less in mid-2024, that 12 months ago it sold for $125 kWh. With further predicted price falls, this will knock $5,000 off the cost to make EVs by 2025. (cnevpost.com)

People should really be thinking about their homes as much/ if not more than EVs.

The cost to convert your home to solar +battery has dropped through the floor.

If you're building something new, it's a no-brainer, even. You can use panels as the roofing material rather than an additional layer now. There's both fancy products like the Tesla one and more practical options.

If you are pulling a construction loan or doing development, absolutely.

Roll it into the price of development and you can be practically fully independent of the grid out the gate.
