DOE releases Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap; 44% reduction in manufactured cost for 300-mile EV pack by 2030

Green Car Congress

The Roadmap includes an aggressive but what it says in an achievable goal: to develop and domestically manufacture energy storage technologies that can meet all US market demands by 2030. kWh levelized cost of storage for long-duration stationary applications, a 90% reduction from 2020 baseline costs by 2030.

Two studies exploring battery costs for hybrids and plug-ins: LEESS, PHEV20, and PHEV40

Green Car Congress

For PHEV20 batteries, TIAX found significant overlap in battery costs among five cathode classes, with wider variation within each chemistry based on the electrode design than between chemistries. Costs were modeled for a 300V PHEV battery pack that could provide 5.5 Systems costs ranged from about 250 – 700 $/kWh.
