BNEF predicts that lithium-ion battery prices, already down by nearly 80% per megawatt-hour since 2010, will continue to tumble as electric vehicle manufacturing builds up through the 2020s. The result will be renewables eating up more and more of the existing market for coal, gas and nuclear. NEO 2018 sees $11.5

Plug-In Hybrids Are Cleaner (Even on a Coal Grid) [ to top ] This entire section is finally obsolete -- because we now have a definitive study by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council. A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study ).

Generic process flow diagram for lithium-ion batteries for vehicles (color coded to present LCI data sources). For example, the nickel cobalt manganese lithium-ion (Li-NCM) chemistry relies on rare metals like cobalt and nickel, for which the data indicated significant non-cancer and cancer toxicity impact potential.

Several dozen prototypes on 15-passenger van since 2004; now in second generation development; no production plans. GMs program relies on lithium-ion battery technology that Gioia called "cost, weight and package prohibitive." Daimler/Mercedes Took over Daimler/Chrysler Sprinter PHEV program. The biggest barrier is the battery."
