Has anyone seen anything about costs? That actually lists dollar amounts? I know this isn't vaporware (it's running at a few companies), but I until we know how much it costs it doesn't really matter.


$800,000 per unit.

They hope to get it to ~$3000 in the next 5 years.


Excellent -- ~3k is a price that makes me happy, 800k not so much. Let's hope as they move out prototyping to the assembly line they're able to achieve the economies of scale they're looking for.


haha, sounded like 800k was the price for the huge box (the kind ebay is running) and $3000 is the price of one big enough to run your home.


Thats what they originally stated in the 60 minutes story. $3000 isn't bad. If what they are claiming is true then you would pay it off in less than 5 years and then have reduced electricity afterwards.

Throw in an electric car and you've seriously reduced your fuel costs.
