Now, researchers from the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), collaborating with UCLA and UC Berkeley researchers, suggest that the US can retrofit diesel-electric trains with batteries in a way that is cost-competitive with diesel. The social cost of carbon emissions starts at US$125?t

We see $548 billion being invested in battery capacity by 2050, two thirds of that at the grid level and one third installed behind-the-meter by households and businesses. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) from new PV plants is forecast to fall a further 71% by 2050, while that for onshore wind drops by a further 58%.

This provides sufficient charge for between 20-40 miles of travel at a cost of between 40p to £1, depending on the tariff.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. It is generous to say that an acre of Iowa can provide 12,500 miles per year at a cost of 10 cents each. Click to enlarge.

Unlike individual car owners, fleet operators know exactly how many miles their vehicles travel, and they aren’t likely to be swayed by questions of styling or coolness factors—if you can demonstrate that an EV will save them money, then you should be able to make a sale. Therefore, electrifying them is critical to reducing emissions.

The point of demand charges is to levy extra costs on those that put the biggest strain on the power grid, to offset the damage they do. After all, power grids do have a maximum amount of energy they can provide at once. That means that fully charging a car can easily happen within the demand charge time frames discussed above.

Electricity from natural gas is broadly better than electricity from coal—or gasoline itself, in cars—but it still pollutes, producing sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and more. Once EVs and their batteries are built, grid upgrades may also be needed to support charging, a 2020 report claimed.
