3. EVs: how much battery is required?
Potential for widespread electrification of personal vehicle travel in the United States, Zachary A.
Needell, James McNerney, Michael T. Chang and Jessika E. Trancik, MIT ,Nature Energy 15 August 2016
Battery utility:
• 0-20 kWh : 87 % of all daily usage
• +20 kWh: +9%
• +20 kWh: +1,5%
• +20kWh: +0,5%
If 20 kWh has a « cost » (or impact) of
1unit per day of usage:
• +20kWh costs 11+1=12 / day
• +20kWh costs 12 + 67= 79 /day
• +20 kWh costs 79+200 = 279 /day
• …
The long term limit to battery size isn’t
technology, it’s the marginal utility.

Driving electric 98% of time (instead of driving petrol all the
time)…
Plug-in (omni)Hybrid on demand:
• Unlimited range (+400km in 5’)
• Pay per use
• Maximise payload for passengers and luggage
Range extending as a service
Convenient, safe, 24/7 availability
9. 2030 Vision
• Vehicles are clean, connected, autonomous and lean.
• Their range is adequate for daily usage.
• During long distance trips, a self hitching energy module (a Tender)
complements their internal energy storage.
