Crossover Threshold

The price point at which a clean substitute becomes cheaper than its fossil incumbent. The Electrification Cascade is the sequence in which sectors cross their thresholds.

The price point at which a clean substitute becomes cheaper than its incumbent fossil alternative. Once a sector's crossover threshold is reached, deployment accelerates regardless of policy support, subsidy, or moral suasion. Different sectors have different crossover thresholds based on their underlying chemistry and capital intensity. The Electrification Cascade is the sequence in which they get crossed.
