Battery Costs Have Officially Reached Parity with the Internal Combustion Engine. One of the largest inhibitors of electrification has been battery costs. The high cost per kilowatt- hour (kWh) has made it hard for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to truly compete against the lower cost structure of fossil-fueled vehicles. In 2016, experts predicted that cost parity between BEVs and ICE , which would require a battery cost of roughly $100 per kWh, wouldn’t occur until at least 2030.
