According to foreign media reports, if the cost of lithium-ion batteries continues to fall, then by 2025 electric vehicles may be cheaper than fuel-powered cars.
According to a report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, some EV models will soon be at the same price level as fuel vehicles in 2024 and will become even cheaper by 2025. The research institute in London said on Thursday that it is necessary to promote this, taking into account The demand for metals contained in batteries continues to rise, and the price of battery packs needs to decline.
As countries and companies scramble to clean up urban smog and achieve the ambitious climate goals set by the Paris agreement, the demand for the promotion of electric vehicles is getting louder and louder. British MPs started investigating the market in September last year to explore the necessary The infrastructure, as well as trying to determine whether to stop the sale of gasoline cars and diesel cars in 2040 ahead of schedule.
According to the Green Alliance report, the UK is expected to reduce its auto trade deficit by 5 billion pounds (about US$7 billion) through incentive measures. The World Wildlife Fund says that the early phase-out of diesel and gasoline cars may be a The industry has increased 14,000 jobs. According to other reports this week, both organizations urged the United Kingdom to advance the time to prohibit the sale of fuel vehicles to 2030.
China, the world’s largest source of pollution, is implementing production targets aimed at increasing sales, and hopes to be ahead of the spread of electric vehicles globally. Li Shufu, the billionaire founder of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, bought Daimler last month. 73 Billion euros (about $9 billion) in shares.
Driven by technology and market demand, electric car battery prices are expected to drop by 67% by 2030
Bloomberg New Energy Finance said that the increase in the large-scale production of lithium-ion batteries is expected to help push the price of batteries to 70 US dollars per kilowatt-hour by 2030. In 2017, the average price of battery packs is approximately 208 US dollars per kilowatt-hour. The profit rate of electric vehicles accounts for about two-fifths of the total cost of such vehicles.
'The sales of electric vehicles will continue to grow in the next few years, but to achieve real popularity in the mass market, battery prices still need to decline further.' said Colin McKerracher, an analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Financial Transportation. 'If the cost of battery materials continues to rise sharply, it may postpone the arrival of a turning point in the price of electric vehicles and fuel vehicles.'
