“Observed Consumer electronics” price data comes from ref. 8 and reflects the prices paid for cells used in consumer electronics between 1991 and 2010. “Observed BNEF” price data comes from ref. 197 and reflects the average price paid for cells used in electric vehicles and stationary storage applications. “Experience curve” shows the battery price decline trend as deployments increase. The relationship is described by Wrights-law and shows that every time the cumulative volume of cells deployed doubles, prices fall by 25%. Prices have been converted to real 2021 US $.
