Always cumulative volume.
Exactly.
Some quotes in this great piece on how cars keep getting bigger, and what to do about it by @davidzipper.bsky.social

There will be battery manufacturing in Europe, including jobs, investment and all the good things that go with that.
Most of the batteries will be made by incumbent manufacturers. That's ok.

The results from BloombergNEF's 2024 lithium-ion battery price survey are out. Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115 per kilowatt-hour. This is the largest decline observed in our survey since 2017. 🧵⬇️
The annual BloombergNEF battery survey is out.
Quick hits: pack prices now $115 per kWh (and below $100 for cars in China)
Almost 2/3 of China's EV models are priced lower than their internal combustion equivalents
Great work @colinmckerracher.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Already compiled @colinmckerracher.bsky.social charts on the latest battery price index into a slide. Bravo to Colin and team www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Thanks Nat! Full credit goes to @evelinastoikou.bsky.social here.
What's next? Metal prices may rise as geopolitical tensions, tariffs, and stalled mining projects impact supply. However, higher LFP adoption, technology advances and competition will push battery prices down. For more see our public press release here: shorturl.at/TcVUc
EVs are still more expensive than comparable combustion cars in many markets, but broader access to cheaper batteries will close the gap.

The march of declining battery prices continues. Always read @colinmckerracher.bsky.social! www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet....
Thanks Matthias. Yep, you're right, very different cars and different levels of tech in them. Still I think it's useful to point out just how extreme the pricing gap is because I don't think the electric version is opening up a totally new pool of buyers.
I'm very fortunate to work on some of the most interesting topics in energy and transport.

Good point. Looks like NYC is 239 traffic fatalities so far this year: www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/st...
I think there's also a speed normalization effect that carries over to other places though. Since moving to a 30km neighborhood I find myself driving slower on highways too.
Global EV sales in October:
Battery electrics: up 23%
Plug-in hybrids: up 65%
Combined market share in October: ~25%
Ending the year strong

I'll try to get Jinghong on BlueSky to share more of her work!
Definitely. What a terrible decision.

From the archives: OPEC's 2015 World Oil Outlook.
It forecasts a total of 4.7 million battery electrics and 41 million plug-in hybrids on the road in 2040

key quote: “Behavioral barriers to adoption are much less of an issue than originally thought. When the economics are good, people buy EVs in large numbers.”

Fascinating. Secondary literature (and presumably press reporting and social media) have been over-estimating the contribution of tyre wear to air pollution. Good news (though all that tyre rubber must still end up somewhere in the environment).

Yep, pretty remarkable year. Full 2024 BNEF battery price survey results will be out in a few weeks.
Prices were up in 2022 when we expected them to be down, so it's not all in the same direction. We'll see what happens with the next raw material price change.
This is the very short version. Full version available to BNEF clients here: www.bnef.com/insights/33099
Almost time to revisit and score this.
EV sales figure looking good, battery prices looking lower than expected.
