I believe there is a need for battery storage and that the market will be immense. Li-ion has issues which can be mitigated, but the chemistry of vrfb is better in my opinion. The questions are, is there a vandium supply, I think yes, if not now then in the future. Will it be us? Don't know, we have working machines in the market, so we're getting performance data. I'm also looking at zinc8 as an alternative chemistry, but the same principle, most of the complexity is in getting the kw out, the kWh and scale is s matter of a bigger tank. This answers the question earlier regarding charging, if your front end, the converter if you like, is big enough you can charge a car, but the 300kw front ends might fall into the larger bracket than the storage compartment would normally have. The more normal configuration had three output being a fraction of the capacity, so maybe 150kw 600kwh, for a single car 300 kw and 300 kWh would charge 4 cars quickly in series. In parallel you'd need MW conversion stages and high kWh storage depending on usage model. So maybe 1.2MW and 900kwh. So 12 cars would deplete it 4-8 at a time, assuming it's not being topped up. To top up a MWh scale tank would take a while. Sorry starting to ramble.
