The cost of batteries for electric vehicles is falling markedly.
Industry reports show that sales-weighted battery pack prices in 2019
were an average of USD 156 per kilowatt-hour, down from more than USD 1
100/kWh in 2010. The average battery pack size across electric
light-duty vehicles sold (including battery electric vehicles and
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) continues an upwards trend; it is now
44 kWh, up from 37 kWh in 2018, and battery electric cars in most
countries are in the 50-70 kWh range. This increase is driven by two
trends: battery electric vehicle models with longer ranges are becoming
available and are increasingly in demand, and the share of battery
electric vehicles relative to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is
rising.
