Future demand for batteries from Electric Vechicles, Autonomous Vehicles and Intermitted Renewable Storage is inevitable. This will require a growth of global battery production from **20 GWh per year from pre-EV days to 2,000 GWh per year by 2030**, and **30,000 GWh per year (over 1,000 times more!) **for a world with All EVs and a Renewables-based global energy and transportation system by 2050 This means in the next 5 to 10 years, we will see a **$50 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cell** that’s capable of fast charging, 10,000+ cycles, 1 million+ miles, a 30 year calendar life, and produced with abundant raw materials found all around the world and recycled. Li-ion won't be everything, but Li-ion will be everything that matters. Non Li-ion chemistries may find niche applications, but will remain small on a relative scale to Li-ion technology Solid state batteries are likely to be irrelevant to the revolution, a niche player at best.
