  • "The decreases in cost associated with the scale that you'd expect from Tesla when it's firing on all cylinders is going to be fairly muted compared to the decrease in battery costs we've already seen," [Jon Hykawy] told IM.

    "Whether you see fuel cells coupled to lithium batteries, or just lithium batteries on their own, or lithium batteries coupled to a small gas engine acting as a generator, is almost irrelevant. You're going to see lithium batteries used in some way," he added.

    "This obviously won't happen overnight, and would simply be too much for the industry to cope with from a demand side, however it would be a 'nice problem to have'," Hykawy concluded.
