6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Price increase of key materials for lithium batteries”

Why are lithium-ion battery pack prices rising?

BloombergNEF (BNEF) has noticed that raw material and battery component prices have been rising steadily since it began tracking the market in 2010, aided by soaring inflation, and this has now led to the first ever increase in lithium-ion battery pack prices over that time period. Courtesy of NREL.

Why are battery prices rising?

Prices of nickel, lithium and cobalt — key raw materials for battery manufacturing — were already rising because of global demand. But war has sent the cost of such commodities skyrocketing © Seong Joon Cho/Bloomberg | SK On Co. battery cells for electric vehicle displayed at the InterBattery exhibition in Seoul

Why are lithium-ion batteries so expensive in 2022?

Courtesy of NREL. After more than a decade of declines, volume-weighted average prices for lithium-ion battery packs across all sectors have increased to $151/kWh in 2022, a 7 percent rise from last year in real terms. The upward cost pressure on batteries outpaced the higher adoption of lower cost chemistries like lithium iron phosphate (LFP).

Will battery prices rise in 2023?

While prices for key battery metals like lithium, nickel and cobalt have moderated slightly in recent months, BNEF expects average battery pack prices to remain elevated in 2023 at $152/kWh (in real 2022 dollars).

How much will lithium cost in 2025?

With mining cost ranging from $3,000/ton to $9,000/ton (Figure 1), lithium price could fall to the $10,000/ton level by around 2025, where the exact timing will depend on the actual EV market growth trajectory. Unlike short-term prices, long-term material prices are primarily determined by available reserve and ore grades.

Can lithium-free batteries reduce EV battery demand?

Lithium-free batteries like sodium-ion batteries could play similar roles in segments where the specific energy requirement is low. 13 In addition, practices such as battery swapping and fast charging can effectively contain EV battery capacity and thus suppress lithium demand.
