A team at MIT has analyzed what has accounted for the extraordinary savings and found that by far the biggest single factor was work on research and development, particularly in chemistry and materials science. The new approach allows us to potentially be a bit more intentional about where we make those investments of time and money.

Now, MIT researchers have carried out an exhaustive analysis of the studies that have looked at the decline in the prices these batteries. Understanding this potential can inform critical climate change mitigation strategies, including public policies and technology development efforts.

I think that, along with similar efforts by consultancies like the Rhodium Group and Energy Innovation , we provided important real-time information for stakeholders inside and outside the negotiations as to what its likely impact would be and whether it was strong enough. So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D.,

A decade later, in the 2010s, the battery EV began an astounding reversal of fortune, thanks in no small part to the engineers at ACP, whose electric-drive technology informed the development of the Roadster, the car that launched Tesla Motors. By the 2020s, automakers around the world were producing millions of EVs a year.

A new study by a team from the University of Pennsylvania and MIT suggests it will be easier for cities to reduce CO 2 emissions coming from residential energy use rather than from local transportation. All told, housing accounts for about 20% of US carbon dioxide emissions, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
