A Glimpse Into the Future of Technologically Mature Electric Cars



Highlights

  • The introduction of affordable 200+ mile electric cars under existing incentive programs offers a valuable glimpse into the future.
  • In the US, incentives will cover the entire battery pack cost of the Chevy Bolt.
  • In Norway, very large incentives will yield effective battery costs of negative $314/kWh – a massive bargain.
  • Current market shares of affordable electric cars are 0.2% in the US and 13% in Norway.
  • Near-term performance of subsidized electric cars in these countries should be indicative of long-term unsubsidized performance.
