i think they should focus on stationary energy grid storage applications first. Take advantage of economies of scale to develop batteries on a massive scale. Then, when development is done, cater to the end-user market as a by-product. The end user market requires higher safety standards (you don't want to burn down your house), and so more experience is required.
I would imagine more safety standards would go into energy grid storage. A lot more liability for a company if their product burns down a power substation than a random house or two.
what makes you think so, especially if there's people in the house?
Because I've seen the quality of a lot of household items that manage to make it to market no problem? Much of it is absolute crap.
