[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Configuring the motorcycle, the large battery is a $5,000 option. So, yes, these will be expensive. At least to begin with.[/quote] I think they made the announcement to get ahead of the 6-10 Chinese companies moving to production this year. They are talking about sodium solid state batteries in the range of $20 per kilogram. That would be a 1/5 the current cost at 2 x the energy density. You could put a battery 1/2 the current size in an EV and get the same range. Though if the weight of the battery stayed the same you would cut the weight of the battery by 1/2 and increase your range. In a EV the battery makes up 20-30% of the weight of the car. Now add in the reduced cost- 20-40% of the cost of the EV is the battery. You are talking about an average EV costing in the 20k range vs gas cars average at 50k. [/quote]
