On the assumption of success on all fronts, Tesla will achieve the critical battery density for short range electric airplanes – namely 400 Wh/kg with high cycle life. After Tesla’s 2020 battery day, DNV expects the cost of batteries to be reduced by 56% (measured in $/kWh) by 2025. One of the main worries that some motorists have before switching to an electric vehicle (EV) is the cost of replacing the cars battery and how likely it. Nevertheless, even DNV has picked up the potential of Tesla for the marine industry. All these prices however exclude the costs for other parts of the system such as inverters, cabling, installation costs and safety measures which can easily double the costs of the entire system. Sustainability claim the price for retrofits are currently around $800 per kWh and going down rapidly.
Future battery prices are likely to go down to $250 per kWh. According to MAN, price for marine batteries ranges between $1000 per kWh for retrofits and $500 per kWh for newbuilds. Some have referred to this phenomenon - Volkswagen and other large German car manufacturers moving towards the EV space - as ‘ the Tesla Effect’.ĭespite the prices for land-based EV batteries dropping and Tesla stocks going to the moon, marine battery systems are still a decade behind. UBS's Swiss investment bank published a note earlier this year that said Volkswagen could be the first global automaker to make money selling electric vehicles with profits materializing as early as 2022. Within four years, major automakers should be able to produce and sell mass-market electric vehicles at the same price and with the same margin as internal combustion engine equivalents," said Goldie-Scot. "They will continue and accelerate over the next few years. The report cited some Chinese battery packs already cost around the $100 per kilowatt-hour mark - the line in the sand that will allow automakers to make mass-market electric vehicles while turning a profit. and China, then you have this very powerful combination of factors to underpin EV uptake, starting now," said the head of clean power at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Logan Goldie-Scot. "If you look at the remarkable cost reduction over the last decade, and what's expected over the next few years, and pair that with escalating policy measures in Europe and expected in the U.S.

That figure now stands at roughly $137 per kWh, and likely to plunge to about $100 per kilowatt-hour in the next couple of years, said Fast Company, citing a new clean energy report from Bloomberg. As expected, full electric cars like the Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, and Tesla Model 3, use substantially larger batteries, with substantially larger electric car battery costs. About a decade ago, the cost of a lithium-ion battery pack was around $1,110 per kWh.
