How Much Will Electric Vehicle Buyers Pay for Additional Range?

A new Post "How Much Will Electric Vehicle Buyers Pay for Additional Range?" was written on the February 22, 2012 at 1:40 pm on "AutoParts Marketplace - Automotive and aftermarket Auto Parts Information".

With the introduction of its upcoming Model S, Tesla Motors is putting
a price tag on range and asking buyers "How much are you willing to
spend?"

Since lithium-ion batteries are costly, increased range carries a
hefty price tag. For the Model S, a jump from 160 to 230 miles costs
$10,000. Moving up to 300 miles is an additional $10,000. Tesla will
soon discover what buyers are willing to part with an extra $10,000
for 70 miles of added range. Other automakers will likely keep an eye
on the percentage of buyers who opt for one of the more costly Tesla
Model S [1] variants.

In the future, battery costs will drop. But for now, all eyes are on
the Tesla Model S, as its the first vehicle to offer increased range
as an option.
