Yes, but it's nice to see the information all in one place without having to hunt for it.

Most of the stories on this website originate with press releases, either financial or technical. I thank the webmaster for compiling and publishing them. It keeps me better informed than I would be otherwise.

Green Cars Congress website is by far the most quoted reference at Yahoo and other financial bill boards as a source of technological expertise and current news, both for advanced vehicles and alternative energy stocks.
Thanks for a great job, Mike&Co.

What is the cost of a 288V/2.2kWh li-ion battery like this one?
Posted by: JJ | Dec 19, 2006 10:48:10 AM
You would have to research the cost or contact the company. For budgetary purposes I use a figure of $1 per 1kWh. So my guess is the 2.2kWh battery bank would cost the OEM about $2,200 in quantity.

Tesla says their Li-ion batteries cost $400/kwh.

That is good to hear. The price would be great if those are the kind of batteries that do not catch fire when they internally short.
