The source provides an overview of the projected landscape for electric vehicles in Italy by 2030, anticipating a significant shift toward electrification with an estimated 6.6 to 7.7 million electric vehicles on the road. This transition is expected to involve a predominance of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) featuring improved performance, such as longer ranges and quicker charging times supported by a vastly expanding public charging network. Crucially, the cost analysis projects that the initial purchase price of electric cars will reach parity with conventional combustion engines around 2030, while the expense for battery replacement is also expected to decline sharply. Finally, while anticipating advancements like solid-state technology, the document confirms that lithium-ion batteries will remain the primary technology over the next decade, focusing on increased energy density and lower production costs.
