Suppose the cost of lithium-ion batteries, an input into the production of electric vehicles, has dropped more steeply than expected. The accompanying graph depicts a market for electric vehicles. Demonstrate the effect of a reduction in the price of lithium-ion batteries by adjusting the accompanying diagram. Market for Electric Vehicles: Equilibrium price may decrease, increase, or remain unchanged. Equilibrium quantity may increase or decrease, but it is impossible to know for sure.

Suppose the cost of lithium-ion batteries, an input into the production of electric vehicles, has dropped more steeply than expected. Use the 4-step process to demonstrate the effect of this change in the market for electric vehicles. Explain why you have drawn the change you have. Has there been a change in demand? Explain. Analyze and explain the change in the equilibrium price and quantity. Explain. Explain how any equilibrium price and quantity combination is efficient. Use 1 of the following in your explanation. Be sure to define your terms. Producer and consumer surplus. Allocative and productive efficiency. Pareto efficiency to address this.
