Key Insights

  • 💰 The rush to the bottom in prices for EVs this year will make it almost certainly cheaper to buy an electric vehicle by the end of this year.
  • 🚗 Legacy automakers are now using catl batteries from China in their new EVs due to their great product and lower prices.
  • 🌍 CATL is working on multiple factories around the world and plans to bring the cost of their batteries down by an additional 50%.
  • 🔋 CATL is predicting a 50% reduction in the prices of their batteries by the middle of 2024, making EVs much cheaper to manufacture.
  • 🔋 Tesla's impact on bringing down the price of EVs is good for consumers and the industry as a whole.
  • 💰 The price of an average 60 KW battery pack has dropped from approximately $6,700 to $3,400 in just 12 months, making it probably cheaper to make than an internal combustion engine.
  • 🔋 Tony Seba's prediction of battery prices dropping to $50 per Kow by 2027 is about to happen 3 years early, making energy storage combined with solar a far better solution than fossil fuels.
  • 💰 The cost of lithium has continued to plummet due to the discovery of new sources, putting downward pressure on battery prices and making them even cheaper.
