Does this mean home battery costs will go up by 30%?
just got your message!
it depends on supply vs demand but with the cost being so substantially lowered likely putting it into no brainer territory there’s a good chance demand will outstrip supply for a while and your job will be to try your best to avoid dodgy overnight battery sellers
If you mean battery providers increasing costs by 30%, it depends on how monopolised the industry is.
In a healthy economy this tactic would fail as they'd lose sales to a competitor who doesn't do this. In the highly-consolidated corporate oligarchies of today, quite possibly?
