The economy of bigger electric vehicle batteries
Are bigger batteries, better? How long will the second wind of PHEVs last? Is there a sweet spot between range, performance and price for EV manufacturers? Our expert panel revealed the answers in a dynamic discussion around EV batteries on 26 September 2024.
The big reveals
- Battery-electric vehicles with larger batteries achieve higher prices and sell more quickly on the used car market
- Larger PHEV batteries have a positive impact on residual values
- The PHEV share of the new-car market will reach its peak in 2025
- Battery size and consumption are both improving
- It’s no longer only about range when it comes to electric vehicles. Battery health and transparency around cost and repair are equally important, as well as price.
