The important point is that if cells get down to $100/kWh, then ev's could have sticker prices equal to ice's. That would cause ev sales to skyrocket, which is absolutely essential for saving the climate.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoThis is important, but also note that the Model 3 cost ($40k-$60k) is above the average new vehicle price ($35k) and Tesla still can’t build enough to meet demand. If Tesla hits $100/kWh, combustion vehicles are done. They will never have a lack of buyers while legacy automakers collapse under their exciting capital cost structure (Ford is already in junk territory, and other automakers aren’t far behind).
- foxyv 7y agoIt's even worse than that, the price to beat is the Honda Fit and Toyota Corolla at about $20k

- dasKrokodil 7y agoProducing more cars will not save the climate.
- BubRoss 7y agoCars and vehicles are going to be produced anyway. There are also vehicles smaller than cars (electric bikes and scooters) and buses (China has already made huge progress with electric buses). Cheaper batteries also mean emergency gas generators for peak energy usage can be phased out.
