I have a smart fortwo which is cute and amazing, but I'm pretty skeptical about electric cars. Lithium isn't cheap and so batteries aren't.
What's the modern cost comparison look these days between a hybrid and plug-in electric?
- SECProto 5y ago> Lithium isn't cheap and so batteries aren't. Lithium makes up a tiny portion of the battery cost - Nickle makes up a much larger fraction of most BEV batteries, and removing the Nickle cost is most of why LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries are more affordable and starting to be the dominant battery in EVs.
