Transportation: Looking Ahead at Economic Potential of EV (Reference) Battery costs continue to fall rapidly Car manufacturers develop wide range of EV models with ~300 mile range Economic Potential Adoption EV / PHEV are most economical choice for 75% of potential new vehicle decisions by 2030 EV / PHEV represent 40% of new vehicle market by 2030 Home or work charging is available for most drivers EV maintenance costs are lower NG prices remain low, moderate increase in oil price (90% by 2050) (75% by 2050) ICEV fuel economy continues to improve
Key Takeaways from National Electrification Assessment System Impacts Improved Environmental Outcomes Electric Sector Resource Planning Natural Gas Remains an important fuel for end-use and electric generation Energy Efficiency Efficient electrification + end-use efficiency lead to falling final energy use Electrification Trend Continues Driven by technological change and consumer choice, further bolstered by policy AND… Realizing the full potential will require deliberate and integrated decisions
