Electrical cars vs Combustion Engine Costs

Oliver Wyman estimated in 2020 that EVs Are Still 45% More Expensive To Make Than Combustion-Engined Cars. The total cost for manufacturing a compact (C-segment) combustion-engined car is around €13,900, and a EV cost is €20,200, the battery pack – at €8,000 – is the main responsible for the total cost.

By 2030, the consultancy believes battery prices will be around $85/kWh. Even then, electric cars would be 9 percent more expensive to produce.[1]

Recent reports from 2022, show that raw material costs for electric vehicles more than doubled during the coronavirus pandemic. Average raw material costs for an EV totaled $8,255 per vehicle as of May, up 144% from $3,381 per vehicle in March 2020, led by materials such as cobalt, nickel and lithium – all essential for the production of batteries used to power electric cars and trucks. EV-specific costs have increased to $4,500 from roughly $2,000 in the past two years, according to AlixPartners.

Raw material costs for traditional vehicles with internal combustion engines have also more than doubled during that time period to $3,662 per vehicle, up 106% from an average of $1,779 per vehicle in March 2020. That uptick is being led by increases in steel and aluminum. [2]

According to AlixPartners, the price of raw materials used in electric vehicles is now around 125% of the cost of raw materials used in ICE vehicles. [3]
