The economic advantage of buying batteries is expected to continue in the future as battery prices continue to decline. On the environmental front, the findings suggest that leasing batteries offers no substantial environmental benefits compared to selling them.
Notably, while the spreads narrow for the leasing cases, their median mileages increase compared to the selling case. The median mileage rises from 120,000 km in the case of selling to 137,500 km and 165,000 km for battery leasing with random and smart distributions, respectively.
If, on the other hand, you prefer to lease the battery, you’ll pay just under $50,000 up front, plus a monthly fee of $135. (The costs are all a bit higher if you opt for the 100 kWh battery, but the idea is the same.) For that monthly fee, you get a couple of swaps or a set amount of rapid charging.
Instead of owning the batteries that power our EVs, some companies want to rethink our relationship and are pushing batteries as a service. Pay a monthly subscription fee, and you could consistently change out the nearly-spent batteries powering your vehicle for fresh ones in swapping stations.
In the leasing scenario with a random distribution, the allocation of batteries follows a randomized approach. Initially, in the first year, batteries are assigned based on the distribution of driver profiles, similar to the previous cases.
In the NZE Scenario, lithium-ion chemistries continue providing the vast majority of EV batteries to 2030. Further innovation both reduces the upfront costs of lithium-ion batteries and brings about additional improvements in their performance, notably in the form of higher energy densities and longer useful life.
