Cost Differential between EV and ICE — Path to cost parity by 2025

Electric Vehicles are still more expensive than ICE Vehicles — and that has been one of the hurdles to wider adoption beyond subsidy driven purchases or energy conscious purchases.

Great article in McKinsey about the cost differential today (2019) between base EV and a base ICE — it is about $12000 and it is a lot.

Cost Reduction, Shared Mobility fleet use cases, Battery Lease (how about Battery Swap?) and other innovative business models can drive down the price differential.

Cost Reduction efforts can reduce the gap by half!

By 2025, we may be able to reach a true cost parity between EV and ICE vehicles — and that is only 5 years away!
