To be fair, grid-scale storage does not have to use lithium batteries, and likely should not use too much of them, because they are such a fire hazard.
A number of alternative chemistries exist, which are much less expensive and less flammable. They of course have lower energy density, but it does not play a major role: batteries sitting on the ground can afford to be be bulky and heavy.
