According to Bloomberg, the cost of Lithium-ion battery packs has gone from an average of $1,160 USD per kilowatt hour in 2010 to just $176 in 2018. Expectations are for this to go under $100 in the next few years. The raw materials to create EV batteries however, may not come down in price.
Large, heavy battery packs take up space and increase a vehicle''s overall weight, reducing fuel efficiency. But it''s proving difficult to make today''s lithium-ion batteries smaller and lighter while maintaining their energy density — that is, the amount of energy they store per gram of weight.
The state transfer equations are as follows: (5.13) S O ̇ C bat = − i bat C bat = − V bat − V bat 2 − 4 P bat R bat 2 R bat C bat, (5.14) SOE ⋅ SC = − P SC E SC = − 2 P SC C SC V SC, max 2, where ESC is the maximum energy that the supercapacitor can store. The optimization is conducted over six CBDCs to minimize the operation cost.
