“I worked at Western Digital alongside Hrishi. I was in product planning while Hrishi was in Segment Marketing. Hrishi was always easy to work with and had a very welcoming disposition. I could always count on detailed product feedback and notes from various customer meetings Hrishi held, which was especially useful for planning.”

Searching for Innovations to Cut Li-ion Battery Costs
Lux Research, State of the Market Report
Early demand for electric vehicles has fallen short of optimistic projections, in large part because of the high costs of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Corporations throughout the value chain have invested heavily in the space, and now must focus on strategies for cost reduction beyond simply relying on scale.

Early demand for electric vehicles has fallen short of optimistic projections, in large part because of the high costs of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Corporations throughout the value chain have invested heavily in the space, and now must focus on strategies for cost reduction beyond simply relying on scale. Here, we take a close look at the cost structure of Li-ion batteries, and consider the innovations that could drive disruptive decreases in cost necessary to spur growth of the the electric vehicle market. Cathode improvements, along with increases to the state-of-charge (SOC) window and reductions in capacity fade, are the surest route to cost decreases. However, in the most likely scenario, nominal pack cost will fall to $397/kWh in 2020, short of the ambitious goals needed to drive mass adoption.

Many new solutions are vying to displace the petroleum-fuel internal combustion engine and win the future of transportation, including alternative fuels such as biofuels, plug-in electric vehicles, and fuel-cell vehicles. However, all face steep obstacles in gaining widespread adoption. For the immediate future, an appealing set of solutions has begun to emerge, and involves integrating batteries and other energy storage solutions to save fuel in ways short of propelling the vehicle itself – micro-hybrids and mild hybrids. These technologies represent a huge market opportunity, as they will be used in 39 million vehicles in 2017 and demand $6.9 billion worth of energy storage devices.
