As I said, whether they succeed or not is an open question.

Their claim is not referring to the raw battery materials. Their claim appears to be that they will be able to offer grid scale batteries for 1/10th of the cost of lithium ion, all in. Obviously, the drawback is that these batteries take over 100 hours to discharge and recharge, so they’re slow.

They are doing a pilot project for Great River Energy in 2023. That’s when we will know how real this product is.

Industry experts that I respect believe that Form Energy is very real, unlike all the vaporware that exists out there.

You can remain skeptical and dismissive if you want. It’s irrelevant to whether Form Energy succeeds or fails.

I haven’t seen anyone here saying that Form Energy has a 100% chance of success, and skepticism is warranted for any startup. Even if a battery startup has perfect battery technology, they can still fail for many reasons.
