Lithium-ion battery costs drop by 70%

摘要

The cost gap between combustion engine and electric vehicles is narrowing as the cost of battery technology falls, Researchers from the Stockholm Environment Institute found that battery costs per kWh have dropped by $700 over the past seven years, At the current rate, the researchers believe that battery technology could reach a price point of $150/kWh within the next decade, making EVs directly competitive with combustion engine vehicles, Stockholm Environment Institute researcher director, Mans Nilsson, said: "The cost of batteries used in electric vehicles has been falling fast and is almost certainly well below the estimates made by many analysts in the past decade.
