How important is the purchase price of an EV?
The decision to purchase an EV can be affected by many considerations, and purchase price is among the most important. Our model breaks the light-duty passenger vehicle market into 16 size classes—eight car and eight light truck—and estimates average EV purchase prices for each.
Why are battery costs expressed in $/kWh?
By expressing battery costs in $/kWh, we are deviating from other power generation technologies such as combustion turbines or solar photovoltaic plants where capital costs are usually expressed as $/kW. We use the units of $/kWh because that is the most common way that battery system costs have been expressed in published material to date.
How do we adjust EV purchase prices?
We adjust EV purchase prices to account for the Clean Vehicle Credit implemented in the IRA, using official U.S. government forecast expenditures to estimate the number of EVs that will be eligible through the lifetime of the regulation.
Any must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from and varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less than a second to weeks or longer. is less flexible than , meaning it cannot easily match the variations in demand. Thus, without storage presents special challenges to .
