I am very familiar with the Lazard LCOE/LCOS/LCOH reports and have read them cover to cover every year since ~2018.

The data and examples I pointed out are nowhere to be found in your graph. For residential storage, which you mention when pointing to pages 19-20 they base it on data from page 43.

Where they find an initial battery cost of: $721 – $1,338 per kWh.

I linked you to residential batteries at a cost of $66.1/kWh. Available off-the-shelf today in Europe. Unsubsidized.

This is unsurprising given that you can buy individual A-grade LFP cells for $50/kWh in Europe.

Don't you think lowering the cost by a factor of 11 to 20 is enough to completely rethink the calculus compared to your "graph"?

The western residential storage market is completely out of wack. You can often get a BEV at a lower price per kWh than home storage. And that includes a car.

> No need to provide another example, especially when your example includes subsidies.

Which example of mine includes subsidies?
