Colin McCarrick appears in By 2030, EVs could cost the same as their gas guzzling siblings as the BloombergNEF analyst explaining why China has already reached EV sticker-price competitiveness. He links that result to integrated supply chains and to the improvement of [[LithiumIronPhosphateBatteries|lithium iron phosphate batteries]].

His contribution is to connect battery chemistry to consumer price parity. The source says LFP became smaller and faster to charge after years of Chinese engineering work, turning what had been a cheaper but bulkier chemistry into the main global EV battery route.
