Reducing the cost of electric drive systems from $30/kW to $8/kW. When these goals are met, the levelized cost of an all-electric vehicle with a 280-mile range will be comparable to that of an ICE vehicle of similar size. That would take a 55 kW system cost of $1,650 down to $440 and increase power density from 1.1 kW/kg to 1.4
