It's strange they didn't compare these batteries to lithium titanate, which is the other chemistry that can do 30,000 cycles and is something anyone can buy right now. They have extremely high charging C rates and sit somewhere between normal batteries and full capacitors in what they can do. They end up being about 50% more than LiFePo batteries in cost.

The numbers thrown out for this (~$60/kWh) are comparable in price to what LFP might cost in the next couple of years, the C rates for these are much lower (C/2).
