Fixed operation and maintenance costs will remain stable at 2.5% of capital costs, while rapid declines in battery pack costs are anticipated to influence overall ESS pricing, similar to historical trends in photovoltaic systems, enhancing economic viability for consumers seeking freedom in energy independence.

How much mpg does an ESS make?

It is technically a mild hybrid setup and provides about 90 ft lbs of torque in addition to the engine's power, so it should produce its gains in city and stop and go driving. I'm not sure how much, because I have not lived with it. ESS alone, on mine, produces about 1 mpg gain on my commute, which is stop/go.
