Thank you @ResourcesMag for hosting me on your podcast. I enjoyed our conversation.
One technology has been key to the development of #ElectricVehicles: the battery. 🔋🚗 In the second podcast episode in our #EV series, we sat down with @MicahZiegler (@GTChBE) to talk about the shocking history and future of EV batteries. Tune in! 🎧

@HMcJeon @robbieorvis @EmilDimanchev @drvolts @HakonNordhagen Yep, sometimes we observe cost increases. If you are interested, a few colleagues used the same mechanistic approach to investigate cost change of nuclear fission:

@robbieorvis @HMcJeon @EmilDimanchev @drvolts @HakonNordhagen However, cumulative production/deployment might not be a good proxy for all technologies.

@robbieorvis @HMcJeon @EmilDimanchev @drvolts @HakonNordhagen Also, research that examines/uses the relationship between cost and cumulative production does not necessarily imply that learning-by-doing is the only mechanism operating. Cumulative prod. can be considered a proxy for a range of activities that lead to technological change.

It was great to visit @PennEngineers today. Thank you for the engaging conversations and thoughtful questions. And thank you @OsujiChinedum for hosting me.
Thanks @MicahZiegler for visiting CBE@Penn and delivering a thought provoking seminar on accelerating change in sustainable energy and chemical technologies.

@JesseJenkins @MichaelGiberso3 @KenCaldeira In addition, researchers have disentangled and quantitatively estimated the contributions of different mechanisms of cost decline for solar PV. See, for example,
