Lower production volumes coupled with a forced shift into a lower-value market can put significant pressure on suppliers as they struggle with an uphill battle against revenue decline

The average price of an ICE passenger car is expected to keep growing through the next decade, mainly driven by price inflation. Yet EVs still have room to maneuver
 
* The cost of batteries is expected to continue to fall — notwithstanding further supply chain and resource constraints — as a result of not only new technological improvements (such as solid-state batteries), but also from economies of scale.
* The ramp up of EV production should lead to an increase in capacity and new production efficiencies which should further drive down costs
* The introduction of additional entry-segment EV models  could further drive down average prices.
* Even taking into account recent geopolitical developments, our conservative estimate suggests EV and ICE vehicles will reach price parity by 2035
