The largest investment cost is for the installed capital equipment. Each cost item for the battery under design is adjusted from the estimate of the baseline plant. The plant cost is done in a similar way with a cost of $3,000 per square meter ($280/sq. ft) including land and utilities.he goal for average battery life is 15 years and a warranted life of 10 years, with full replacement in the first five years and shared cost of replacement for the last five years seems appropriate. The vehicle owner would pay an increasing share of the cost from between 0 % at 5 years to 100 % at 10 or more years.
As production levels increase we will recognise economies of scale as well as ongoing advancements in technology that will reduce the cost of battery production. A good example of this can be seen in recent times with Plasma TVâs (Todayâs TV costs around $800 compared to the $10,000 outlay 10 years ago).Since the Mitsubishi i-MiEV was launched 3 years ago we have already seen reductions in battery costs.ybrid Electric Vehicles have been in the market place for around 12 years and combine a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor to provide motive power. Essentially, the electricity for the EV motor is provided by an internal combustion engine.
