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. Source: DOE.

5 Big Ideas for High-Temperature Superconductors

Cars That Think

It refers to materials that superconduct above −195.79 °C, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. But the materials could show up sooner in a wide array of practical applications, including wind power, energy storage, and nuclear magnetic-resonance machines. Since then, research has lagged due to the high cost of the materials.
