Re: [Electric Boats] LiFePO4 pricing

As long as the market bears the current price, the price will not go down. The middle men will just make more money until one of them breaks rank. When there are not many middle men the chances of one of them breaking ranks is slim.

But you can also look at it like this, no price increase is in effect a drop in price due to inflation. So, at 2% inflation per year (the FEDS target/goal), a price that stays the same for 4 years is in effect a 8% price drop.

I'll beat this dead horse one more time, then I'll move on.

As a consumer, I don't really care about somebody else's business plan, or their studies.

What matters to me is the price they charge.

I find, by looking at the websites I listed on the previous message, that pricing of the typical prismatic cells which we use in our boats has not decreased at all over the past four years for the consumer.

If high quality prismatic cells are available in small quantities at the retail level in the US for significantly less than the prices I provided, I'd be very happy to be proved wrong.

Specific web pages would be appreciated.

Thanks.
