$200/kWh by 2019.

Assuming that households consume between 30 kWh and 15 kWh electricity daily on average and you want to have storage capacity for 1/3 of daily electricity consumption to get wind or solar energy work, you need 10-5 kWh per household. That's $2000 - $1000 per household. If that battery lasts 10 years, its $200 - $100 per year.

It's workable and scales if we are able to reuse lithium. When does that happen? (recycling is not reuse)
