The important point is that if cells get down to $100/kWh, then ev's could have sticker prices equal to ice's. That would cause ev sales to skyrocket, which is absolutely essential for saving the climate.

Producing more cars will not save the climate.

Cars and vehicles are going to be produced anyway. There are also vehicles smaller than cars (electric bikes and scooters) and buses (China has already made huge progress with electric buses).

Cheaper batteries also mean emergency gas generators for peak energy usage can be phased out.
