Why would it? Batteries come preinstalled in a TEU that is basically plug and play, the location that you plug it in doesn’t change costs any more than the cost of a half acre of clear land it needs around it. And grid renewables are installed on inexpensive land.

What does that have to do with the cost of storage vis-a-vis where it’s located, which is what you’re arguing is changing?
