Studie zur E-Mobilität 2010

The market for electric-car batteries could reach $25 billion in 2020. But formidable challenges remain. No clear winner has yet emerged among battery technologies, and battery makers are unlikely to meet the USABC target cost of $250 per kWh by 2020. Governments will need to provide extensive support for technology development, battery-charging infrastructure, and subsidies for consumers’ purchases of electric vehicles. OEMs may partner with cell makers before turning to tier-one suppliers to furnish batteries as the latter become commodities.
