Despite a continuous and impressive increase in the electric car stock, electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) deployment and electric car sales in the past five years, annual growth rates have been declining. In 2016, the electric car stock growth was 60%, down from 77% in 2015 and 85% in 2014. The year 2016 was also the first time year-on-year electric car sales growth had fallen below 50% since 2010. Page | 6 Declining year-on-year increments are consistent with a growing electric car market and stock size, but the scale achieved so far is still small: the global electric car stock currently corresponds to just 0.2% of the total number of passenger light-duty vehicles (PLDVs)4 in circulation. Electric vehicles (EVs) still have a long way to go before reaching deployment scales capable of making a significant dent in the development of global oil demand and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. “Assessments of country targets, original equipmentResearc hmanufacturer, develop (OEM)ment and deployment (RD&D) and mass production prospects are leading to announcementsrapid batte randy c scenariosost dec onlin electrices an d increases in energy density.

The 2016 cost and energy density assessment draws from the results developed by the US DOE (Howell, 2017). The assessment aims to reflect the production cost of technologies that are currently being researched once they achieve commercial-scale, high-volume production (US DOE, 2017). The US DOE estimate is higher than the USD 180/kWh to USD 200/kWh range of battery pack costs announced recently by GM and LG Chem (Ayre, 2015) or Tesla and Panasonic (Field, 2016; Lambert, 2016a, 2016b) for batteries that will be used in new EV models. The estimates are also lower than the costs estimates for commercially Page | 14 available technologies reported in other assessments, which range between USD 300/kWh (Slowik et al., 2016) and USD 500/kWh (US DOE, 2017). Overall, this confirms that technologies currently in the R&D stage have better performance than those available on the market. Since the cost estimates for the scale- up of lab-scale technologies are projections of the expected costs in three to five years for high-volume production (US DOE, 2017),12 the assessment suggests that battery costs will continue to decline.

Notes: Contrary to the results assessed for 2009-15, which targeted PHEV batteries, the 2016 estimates of costs and volumetric enTechnologicalergy density by the US DOE (costs are to be interpreted as projections for the high-volume production of technologies currently being researched) refer to a battery pack that is designed to deliver 320 km of all-electric range and is, therefore, suitable for BEVs. Thprogresse latest updat:e of this cost assessment was developed accounting for an advanced lithium-ion technology (with silicon alloy- co-mpNewosite a ngenerationode). Being a techofno logy that is still being researched today, this is currently deemed to have a greater cost but also a larger potential for cost reductions compared with conventional lithium-ion technologies. batteries Sources: Howell (2017), EV Obsession (2015) and Cobb (2015a). - Connected cars Key point: Prospects for future cost reductions from the main families of battery technologies confirm the encouraging signs in cost and performance improvements observed over the past decade. Source: ExWhypansions i nshould production vol ubemes a itnd pdifferentack size bear the ca now?pacity to reduce unit costs (Howell, 2017IEA). 2016 According to the US DOE, increasing production volumes from 25 000 units to 100 000 units for a BEV (100 kWh) battery pack allows a cut in battery pack production costs per kWh by 13%. Other studies confirm that production volume is a key factor in battery pack cost reduction: battery pack production volumes of over 200 000 battery packs per year are estimated to cost USD 200/kWh or less. This is roughly one-third lower than the USD 300/kWh estimated for production volumes ranging between 10 000 and 30 000 units in 2015 (Slowik et al., 2016). Increasing the pack size from 60 kWh to 100 kWh (roughly reflecting, in the case of an average car sold in the United States, an increase in range from 200 km to 320 km) would also lead to a 17% reduction in cost per kWh at the pack level (Howell, 2017).

12 Looking at the historical assessment of technologies being researched (Figure 6) against the costs estimated for commercially available applications today also suggests that lab-scale technologies tend to be three to five years ahead when compared with the average commercial technologies. - 95€ penalty for each gram of CO2 beyond the 95 gCO2/km * total number of vehicles sold (the problem of the mix gasoline/diesel)

- Each new car whose emissions of CO2 are below 50 grams will count double in 2020, for 1,67 cars in 2021, 1,33 cars en 2022 and 1 car from 2023 (why EVs are crucial)

From NEDC toWLTC (2017-2021) + RDE (coefficient of 2,1 in 2017 and of 1,5 2020) – EURO 6 (80 mg NOx/km)  Carmakers will have more than double their efforts to reduce

CO2 emissions and at least multiply by 5 (and by 20 for certain Dieselgate VW brands and models) those for the NOx

 Shift to 95 g. CO2 in 2021

Radical change of strategy of world leader OEM (VW)  domino effect? Why should be it different now? - Acquisition and utilization costs - Development of infrastructure - Uncertanties of utilization

Obstacles/ Infrastructure Despite technological progress ICE • Sell EVs to households cars will remain for a long period Autonomy / Recharging time the best choice for households

• Commercial carsharing Almost not impact on diffusion and utilization (no modal transfer)

Largely subsidized by regional and local administrations / little impact and no business model

Obstacles/ Uncertainties of use-value Technological break: law of Moore applied to batteries (?) / Fast recharge / EV platforms

Despite technological progress ICE • Sell EVs to households cars will remain for a long period Autonomy / Recharging time the best choice for households

• Private carsharing + carpooling - It reduces acquisition and utilization costs of EVs - It optimizes average utilization - It gives access to other cars for extreme utilization

Problems: trust / no solutions for peri-urban and rural users / how to manage utilization peaks (holidays, week-ends, commuting peaks…)?

Research in cooperation with Deng Xiaoxiang (IDHES – GERPISA) • To reach 70 millions EV (cars & CV) on the road and a market share of 11% in 2025 the rate of growth of EV sales should be of at least 40% each year from 2017 onward ➢ Battery technology progress are crucial but highly uncertain // Rare earth prices (lithium & cobalt) should not grow ➢ Massive state support is crucial until and well after 2025 • Subsidises to sales  in 2016 $1 billion in the US for 1% market share / $3,4 billions in China for 1,2% • Subsidises to infrastructure • Diminishing revenues from fuel taxes  road infrastructures

• Carmakers need to substitute gasoline/diesel cars with EVs to survive the new regulatory framework (WLTP + RDE) / they do not need an EV revolution (3%-5% market share in 2030 is enough) • Carsharing / Carpooling revolution ? No real progress since 2015
