I believe(my opinion) the first water heater to be released will be the point-of-use. My guess is it will only handle 1.5 maybe 2 gpm, need 120 volt, 30 amp circuit and pull roughly 20-25 amps to operate. Efficiency will be 99%. Size of the unit will be about 6" x 10" with 1/2" fittings to hook to existing water supply.

When you say that your power consumption would be higher, that rings the bell. Per your assumption that it has 100% efficiency, at worst whatever you do, it should be equal or less than what available in the market. I would say your calc is on the right track, but your assumption may need to be revisited (temp change, flow rate, duration, etc). Having said that, the peak factor fee is a good point.

Another point to consider about this product is the potential applications are tremendous--Boiling water quicker. Imagine what else they could license their technology to do. Go WDRP...
