Dive Brief:
Battery costs for electric vehicles are expected to decline to $90-$115/kWh by 2025 and $65-$80/kWh at the pack level by 2030, according to a report issued Wednesday by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
The report, mandated by a 2007 Congressional directive asking the National Academies to periodically review fuel economy standards, projects the electric vehicle market from 2025 to 2035 and concludes EVs with a range of 300 miles or more will reach first-cost parity with internal combustion engines (ICE) by 2030. Shorter-range vehicles could reach cost parity sooner.
The report also includes a series of recommendations for federal agencies, calling on them to use their authority to drive the development and deployment of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) as they present the long-term future of energy efficiency, petroleum reduction, and greenhouse gas emissions reduction within the light-duty transportation sector.
