Does this article also ignore that there will be scaling efficiencies for even the raw material procurement/mining? Mines and foundries selling materials for Li-Ion batteries would certainly want to scale to meet the larger demand, and will probably find cheaper ways to make/procure materials, unless they're just going to take advantage of the demand and hike prices.
Also not accounting for battery improvements and breakthroughs to reduce material usage, or find cheaper materials to meet the same energy density. Tesla and VW already claim they are near $100/kWH for cell level, is the pack assembly really that much more expensive? https://www.businessinsider.com/vw-electric-cars-battery-costs-versus-tesla-2019-9 -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
