Electric vehicle battery breakthrough is not as good as the expected

Another enlightened policy-makers and who is committed to reducing emissions from large, as the conversion of natural gas, from the results of the U.S. vehicle fleet as a driving force, as soon as possible environmental activists frustrated electric vehicles. By the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) latest sony vgp-bps8 battery research shows that this will not happen before 2020, even though a number of ideas put forward, the Government’s task.

The reason is because it has been working with for decades - the battery’s electrical storage capacity constraints mean that it can not be cost-competitive quickly enough so that they can provide the best transportation prices, to make their product prices and features types, so that their ideal consumers.

“Over the years, it has been said that one of the keys in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, is the team’s electrified, said:” Xavier Mosquet, headquartered in Detroit, the leader of Boston Consulting Group’s global automotive practice and study co - author. “The reality is that the battery electric vehicles are too expensive sony vgp-bps9 battery, sony vgp-bps10 battery and technically for this limited for the foreseeable future.”

BCG’s research report pointed out that the lithium-ion batteries may be in the majority of electric vehicle use in the next decade, lighter, more powerful than the nickel-metal hydride used in hybrid electric vehicles are the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight unit.

Car manufacturers assumed the electric vehicle batteries to achieve the same cost per kilowat hours (kilowatt-hour of electricity consumer electronics products, the price level) is 250 U.S. dollars between the $ 40 billion kwh. At present, lithium-ion hp pavilion dv2 battery, hp pavilion dv6 battery to produce more power and lasted longer than nickel hyrdide units, but doing so in the 1,000 to 1,200 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour of costly.

Car manufacturers said that for years, their commitment to technological advances and increased consumer demand will drive the cost per kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery cells compared to the level, consumer electronics batteries. However, BCG’s research shows that simply does not occur as early as 2020.

In addition to lower costs, access to a significant lithiom-ion batteries used in cars and trucks, and must meet more stringest safety and reliability than any other battery standards.

Even so, the BCG impressive growth forecast in the world of electric vehicles, about 2020 sold for every one of the four new models, is not all-electric or in the United States, dell vostro 1310 battery , dell studio 1735 battery Western Europe, China and Japan hybrids) for 14 mllion or total result. This is not exactly a small market, while the estimated value of 25 yuan blllion, according to BCG.

“This emerging market will be about three times that today’s full-size lithium-ion batteries such as notebook computers and mobile phone markets, consumer applications, said:” Mosquet.
