VIA was focused on fleet sales and a low cost of ownership. The math worked out (per VIA) that after eight years of use, fleet customers would save roughly a third on ownership costs. Things like fuel and maintenance costs were much less with the VTRUX setup. Until then!

But as manufacturing ramps up and the efficiencies of these types of cells climbs to 35%, the researchers predict the cost per watt could fall to 66 cents for a GaInP-based cell and to 85 cents for the GaAs-based cell. The cost of a solar module in the United States accounts for 20% to 40% of the price of a photovoltaic system.

Furthermore, the batteries in a PHEV are generally smaller than those in any other electric vehicle constructed today and the battery savings in the PHEV from a pure BEV can easily make up for the cost of the small liquid-fueled engine, resulting in a lower-cost production vehicle for mass distribution.

To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. However, the authors note, to date EES (almost exclusively pumped hydroelectric storage) contributes to only about 2% of the installed generation capacity in the United States.

We’ve installed and commissioned, meaning they’re actually working, 35,100 H100 computers or GPUs—GPU’s the wrong word; they need a new word. We are also getting hyper focus on CapEx efficiency and utilizing our installed capacity in a more efficient manner. I always feel like a wince when I say GPU because it’s not GPUs.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate.
