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 | 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 | |||
