DOE estimates EV battery pack costs in 2022 nearly 90% lower than in 2008

Green Car Congress

The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Vehicle Technologies Office estimates the cost of an electric vehicle lithium-ion battery pack declined 89% between 2008 and 2022 (using 2022 constant dollars). That compares to $1,355/kWh in 2008. 2008–2015 – National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2017.

As states use less coal for electricity, driving electric vehicles becomes even cleaner

Green Car Congress

Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. This brief study analyses, for each individual state, the changes from 2008 to 2018 in the use of coal (one of the two most polluting energy sources) to generate electricity.

As states continue to use less coal for electricity, driving electric vehicles becomes even cleaner

Green Car Congress

Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. The raw data (the percentages of electricity generated from different energy sources in the individual states) came from the Nuclear Energy Institute. Therefore, the data for 2008 are included here as well.
