... The cost of the battery pack enclosure that holds the The future cost estimates in this report are higher than cells, the electronics required to monitor and control each most, but not all, other projections, especially the DOE cell to prevent over-charging and run-away, and the temperagoals. The committee concluded that reductions greater than ture control system to manage battery pack temperature are 50 percent in battery costs are unlikely over the next two a major portion of the total battery pack cost.
