Productivity and Industrial Engineering (IE) in Battery Manufacturing

Industrial Engineering = Productivity - Efficiency - Cost Reduction


Productivity Science - Productivity Engineering - Productivity Management


Monitoring of New Technology

In new technology industrial engineering, industrial engineers have to first learn the new technology. They have to monitor developments in it. Then they have to monitor industrial engineering interventions in the technology reported so far in popular press, trade magazines, professional association publications, patents and research papers.

Rechargeable Battery for Electric Cars: Cost Reduction Estimates


The MIT Technology Review estimated the cost of automotive battery packs to be between US$225 to US$500 per kilowatt-hour by 2020.[MIT] A 2013 study by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy reported that battery costs came down from US$1,300 per kWh in 2007 to US$500 per kWh in 2012. The U.S. Department of Energy has set cost targets for its sponsored battery research of US$300 per kWh in 2015 and US$125 per kWh by 2022..[ACEEE]

In October 2015, car maker GM revealed at their annual Global Business Conference that they expected a price of US$145 per-kilowatt-hour for Li-ion cells entering 2016 and a cost of US$100 per kwh by the end of 2021.[GM]

According to a study published in February 2016 by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), battery prices fell 65% since 2010, and 35% just in 2015, reaching US$350 per kWh.  BNEF projects that by 2040, long-range electric cars will cost less than US$22,000 expressed in 2016 dollars. BNEF expects electric car battery costs to be well below US$120 per kWh by 2030, and to fall further thereafter due technology developments.[BNEF]

Battery capacity requirements and adoption rates of four types of EVs by 2030 - BCG Estimates (2018)


Mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEVs) have an internal combustion engine (ICE) plus a low-power electric engine with battery capacity of approximately 5 kWh. 2030 Estimate:  will be  15% of the global automotive market in 2030.
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine an ICE and a medium-power electric engine with battery capacity of approximately 10 kWh. 2030  estimate 13%.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have an ICE and a high-power electric engine with battery capacity of approximately 18 kWh.  2030 market share estimate: 6%.
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have an electric motor powered by a large-capacity battery. Depending on the vehicle class, the battery capacity may be as much as 110 kWh. 2030 estimate:  14% of the automotive market in 2030.

Research published recently in Nature Climate Change Letters shows battery pack costs may in some cases be as low as US$300 per kilowatt-hour today, and could reach US$200 by 2020. The  cost is decreasing at a faster rate.

The battery in a typical mid-range electric car stores around 25 kilowatt hours of energy. The analysis therefore suggests that the cost of electric car batteries may be as low as $7,500 today and is likely to reduce  to $5,000 by 2020.
