Izindleko zokukhiqiza izimoto zikagesi zizokhuphuka eminyakeni emine ezayo, ngokusho kombiko omusha, ngenxa yokuntuleka kwezinto zokusetshenziswa ezibalulekile ezidingekayo ukuze kwenziweamabhethri ezimoto zikagesi.
“Kuza i-tsunami yesidingo,” kusho uSam Jaffe, iphini likamongameli wezixazululo zamabhethri enkampanini yocwaningo i-E Source eBoulder, eColorado.ibhethriimboni isilungile okwamanje.
Intengo yamabhethri ezimoto zikagesi yehle eminyakeni yamuva nje njengoba ukukhiqizwa komhlaba wonke kukhuphukile. I-E Source ilinganisela ukuthi isilinganiso sezindleko zebhethri namuhla singama-$128 nge-kilowatt-hora futhi singafinyelela cishe ku-$110 nge-kilowatt-hora ngonyaka ozayo.
Kodwa ukwehla ngeke kuhlale isikhathi eside: I-E ​​Source ilinganisela ukuthi amanani ebhethri azokhuphuka ngo-22% kusukela ngo-2023 kuya ku-2026, afinyelele ku-$138 nge-kWh, ngaphambi kokubuyela ekwehleni okuqhubekayo - mhlawumbe kuphansi njenge-kWh ngayinye - ngo-2031 $90 kWh.
UJaffe uthe ukwanda okulindelwe kuwumphumela wokukhula kwesidingo sezinto ezibalulekile zokusetshenziswa, njenge-lithium, ezidingekayo ukwenza amashumi ezigidi zamabhethri.
“Kukhona ukushoda kwangempela kwe-lithium, futhi ukushoda kwe-lithium kuzoba kubi kakhulu. Uma ungayimbi i-lithium, awukwazi ukwenza amabhethri,” kusho yena.
I-E Source ibikezela ukuthi ukwenyuka okulindelekile kwezindleko zebhethri kungakhuphula intengo yezimoto zikagesi ezithengiswe ngo-2026 ibe phakathi kuka-$1,500 no-$3,000 ngemoto ngayinye. Le nkampani iphinde yanciphisa isibikezelo sayo sokuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi zika-2026 ngo-5% kuya ku-10%.
Ukuthengiswa kwezimoto zikagesi e-US kulindeleke ukuthi kudlule izigidi ezimbili ngaleso sikhathi, ngokusho kwesibikezelo sakamuva esivela enkampanini yokubonisana i-LMC Automotive. Abenzi bezimoto kulindeleke ukuthi bakhiphe izinhlobo eziningi zikagesi njengoba abantu baseMelika abaningi bamukela umqondo wokufakwa kukagesi.
Abaphathi bezimoto baxwayisa kakhulu ngesidingo sokukhiqiza izinto ezibalulekile ezimotweni zikagesi. Isikhulu esiphezulu seFord uJim Farley ngenyanga edlule ucele ukuthi kusetshenziswe kabanzi mayelana nokwethulwa kwenkampani i-F-150 Lightning esebenza ngogesi kuphela.
"Sidinga amalayisense okumba. Sidinga ukucubungula izinto ezingaphambi kokucubungula kanye namalayisense okucwenga e-US, futhi sidinga uhulumeni kanye nomkhakha ozimele ukuthi basebenzisane futhi bakulethe lapha," kusho uFarley etshela i-CNBC.
Isikhulu esiphezulu seTesla u-Elon Musk unxuse imboni yezimayini ukuthi yandise ukumbiwa kwe-nickel kusukela ngo-2020.
“Uma umba i-nickel ngendlela ebucayi emvelweni, iTesla izokunikeza inkontileka enkulu yesikhathi eside,” kusho uMusk ocingweni lwengqungquthela lwangoJulayi 2020.
Nakuba abaphathi bemboni nabaholi bakahulumeni bevumelana ngokuthi kuningi okudingeka kwenziwe ukuze kuthengwe izinto zokusetshenziswa, umthombo we-E uthe inani lamaphrojekthi okumba lisephansi kakhulu.
“Njengoba amanani e-lithium enyuke cishe ngo-900% ezinyangeni ezingu-18 ezedlule, besilindele ukuthi izimakethe zezimali zivule amasango okukhula futhi zakhe amaphrojekthi amaningi amasha e-lithium. Esikhundleni salokho, lokhu kutshalwa kwezimali bekungahlelekile, iningi lalo livela eShayina futhi lisetshenziswa ochungechungeni lokuphakelwa kwempahla lwaseShayina,” kusho inkampani embikweni wayo.
