Material costs represent themajority of costs in a batterypack (66%) ofwhich the active material, responsible for the intercalationof li-ions, is themost costly component. Byusingsilicon basedbatteries a cost reductionperkWhof 30%. The limit of 100Dollar/kWhwill be reached in 2020–2025forsiliconbasedbatteriesandin2025–2030forNMCbatteries. This lowpricewillhavea significant impactontheoverallpriceofanelectricvehiclessince thebatteryrepresents the largest cost. Thispricereductionwillaide in themassadoptionofelectricvehicles.
