…be contrasted with the c-20 year typical lifetimes of ICE vehicles. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/06/15/electric-vehicles-breaking-the-ice/ Hence what requirements for electric vehicle battery life? This question matters if electric vehicle chemistries are going to…
Could electric vehicles deflate towards cost parity with ICEs in 2025-30, helping to re-accelerate EV adoption? This 12-page report into electric vehicle cost parity contains a granular sum-of-the-parts cost breakdown….
Electric Cars are being overtaken by new electric vehicles, which achieve c3x greater decarbonisation per unit of battery material. This metric matters if one believes that battery materials are a…
…insurance and 15% is fuel/electricity. The total cost of ownership for electric vehicles screens as being 40% higher than for an ICE, based on the examples tabulated in this data-file,…
…CNG trucks, LNG trucks, electric trucks and hydrogen trucks (chart below). Electric trucks with 4-6 ton batteries, and 700-1,000km ranges, likely cost $110-170k more (i.e., 2x) than a typical diesel…
