Ixabiso lokuvelisa izithuthi zombane liza kunyuka kwiminyaka emine ezayo, ngokutsho kwengxelo entsha, ngenxa yokunqongophala kwezinto ezibalulekileyo ezifunekayo ukwenzaiibhetri zezithuthi zombane.
“Kuza kubakho i-tsunami yemfuno,” utshilo uSam Jaffe, usekela-mongameli wezisombululo zebhetri kwinkampani yophando i-E Source eBoulder, eColorado.ibhetriimboni sele ilungile.
Ixabiso leebhetri zezithuthi zombane liye lehla kwiminyaka yakutshanje njengoko imveliso yehlabathi inyukile. I-E Source iqikelela ukuba ixabiso eliqhelekileyo lebhetri namhlanje yi-$128 nge-kilowatt-yure kwaye inokufikelela kwi-$110 nge-kilowatt-yure kunyaka ozayo.
Kodwa ukwehla akuyi kuhlala ixesha elide: I-E ​​Source iqikelela ukuba amaxabiso ebhetri aza kunyuka ngama-22% ukusuka ngo-2023 ukuya ku-2026, efikelela kwi-$138 nge-kWh, ngaphambi kokuba abuyele ekuncipheni okuzinzileyo - mhlawumbi aphantsi njenge-kWh nganye - ngo-2031 nge-$90 kWh.
UJaffe uthe ukunyuka okulindelweyo kubangelwa kukwanda kwemfuno yezinto ezibalulekileyo, ezifana ne-lithium, ezifunekayo ukwenza amashumi ezigidi zeebhetri.
“Kukho ukunqongophala kwe-lithium ngokwenene, kwaye ukunqongophala kwe-lithium kuya kuba kubi ngakumbi. Ukuba awuyimbi i-lithium, awunakwenza iibhetri,” utshilo.
I-E Source iqikelela ukuba ukunyuka okulindelweyo kweendleko zebhetri kunokunyusa ixabiso lezithuthi zombane ezithengiswa ngo-2026 liye phakathi kwe-$1,500 kunye ne-$3,000 ngesithuthi ngasinye. Le nkampani ikwanciphise uqikelelo lwayo lokuthengisa ii-EV zika-2026 nge-5% ukuya kwi-10%.
Ukuthengiswa kwezithuthi zombane eMelika kulindeleke ukuba kudlule kwizigidi ezi-2 ngelo xesha, ngokutsho koqikelelo lwamva nje oluvela kwinkampani yokubonisana i-LMC Automotive. Abenzi beemoto kulindeleke ukuba baqalise iimodeli ezininzi zombane njengoko abantu abaninzi baseMelika besamkela ingcamango yokufakelwa umbane.
Abaphathi beemoto baya belumkisa ngakumbi ngemfuneko yokuvelisa izinto ezibaluleke kakhulu kwiimoto zombane. I-CEO yeFord uJim Farley kwinyanga ephelileyo ucele ukuba kwenziwe uphando oluthe kratya malunga nokuqaliswa kwenkampani kwe-F-150 Lightning esebenzisa umbane wonke.
“Sifuna iilayisenisi zemigodi. Sifuna ukucubungula izinto eziza kuqala kunye neelayisenisi zokucoca eMelika, kwaye sifuna urhulumente kunye namashishini abucala basebenzisane baze bazizise apha,” uFarley uxelele iCNBC.
I-CEO yeTesla u-Elon Musk ukhuthaze imboni yezemigodi ukuba yonyuse ukwembiwa kwe-nickel kwasekuqaleni kuka-2020.
“Ukuba umba i-nickel ngokufanelekileyo ngendlela echaphazela okusingqongileyo, iTesla iza kukunika isivumelwano esikhulu, sexesha elide,” utshilo uMusk kwintlanganiso kaJulayi 2020.
Nangona abaphathi beli shishini kunye neenkokheli zikarhulumente bevumelana ukuba kufuneka kwenziwe okungakumbi ukuze kuthengwe izinto zokwenza imveliso, umthombo we-E uthe inani leeprojekthi zemigodi lisephantsi kakhulu.
“Njengoko amaxabiso e-lithium enyuke phantse ngama-900% kwiinyanga ezili-18 ezidlulileyo, besilindele ukuba iimarike zemali zivule amasango okukhupha amanzi kwaye zakhe iiprojekthi ezininzi ezintsha ze-lithium. Endaweni yoko, olu tyalo-mali belungalingani, uninzi lwalo luvela eTshayina kwaye lusetyenziswa kuthungelwano lokubonelela lwaseTshayina,” utshilo inkampani kwingxelo yayo.
