Honestly, Vanadium is a blind hole. Vanadium is too expensive. The Iron flow batteries are already here and are significantly less expensive. And soon, I think they will be even less expensive.
Iron runs about $600/MT where Vanadium is around $1.6-2.0M/MT, a factor of ~3,000.
I do agree that it was stupid for the Chinese to be sold the technology.
