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). The 2022 estimate is $153/kWh on a usable-energy basis for production at scale of at least 100,000 units per year.

Volumetric Energy Density Of Lithium-ion Batteries Increased By 8+ Times Between 2008 & 2020

CleanTechnica EVs

Volumetric energy density refers to the amount of energy that can be contained within a given volume. Increasing the volumetric energy density of batteries allows electric vehicles (EVs) to travel further without increasing the size of the battery pack.
