The key to obtaining significant reductions in transportation-related GHG emissions is to increase the cost of driving. The economy-wide CO 2 prices applied increase the cost of driving only marginally with respect to the business-as-usual case. —Morrow et al. Adoption of all of the preceding policies.

The GFEI, a partnership of international agencies and top energy policy experts, suggests that these cost savings could in part be used to help offset the costs of developing a global market for electric vehicles over this time frame, since the savings are estimated to be at least four times bigger than these costs.

BCG comparison of the CO 2 reduction potential and cost of different technologies. In addition, the cost to the consumer would be about $50 to $60 per percent CO 2 reduction—roughly half the cost of what was expected three years ago. BCG expects pack costs for OEMs will fall to ~$360-440 per kWh by 2020.
