The year 2025 promises to be a turning point for the automobile market. With bold business strategies and technological innovations, manufacturers could shake up the prices of electric vehicles. But at what cost for other segments? From 2025, the prices of electric cars could see a significant drop. This forecast is based on several factors: technological advances, mass production, and increasing regulatory pressures. While manufacturers adjust their strategies, thermal models become an adjustment variable. Let’s come back to the reasons for this major change.
A reduction in battery production costs
Batteries still represent a large part of the cost of electric cars. In 2025, thanks to innovations such as increased use of recycled materials and optimized manufacturing processes, their price per kWh is expected to fall. According to estimates, this cost could fall below 100 euros/kWh, a key threshold for democratizing electric vehicles.
- Example: Asian manufacturers, such as CATL and BYD, are investing heavily in more efficient production lines.
The European Union’s objectives to reduce CO2 emissions require manufacturers to electrify their ranges. To meet their quotas, they are lowering the prices of electric models to stimulate sales.
- Concrete case: Peugeot reduces the price of the electric e-2008, now displayed at 36,000 euros, while increasing that of the gasoline versions. A strategy intended to promote the energy transition.
Tax incentives and a dynamic global market
In Europe and China, government subsidies continue to play a central role. This aid makes it possible to reduce purchasing prices for consumers. At the same time, increasing production volumes in countries like China are creating economies of scale.
- Notable fact: By 2025, China could become the largest exporter of electric vehicles, further boosting global competition.
| Model | Price 2024 (in euros) | Estimated 2025 price (in euros) | Evolution (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peugeot e-2008 | 41 000 | 36 000 | -12 % |
| Renault Zoe | 33 000 | 28 000 | -15 % |
| Tesla Model 3 (SR+) | 44 000 | 39 000 | -11 % |
