New York, December 10, 2024 – Battery prices saw their biggest annual drop since 2017. Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115 per kilowatt-hour, according to analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Flickr; National Renewable Energy Lab Global battery prices for electric vehicles and storage are expected to rise slightly this year, to an average of $135/kWh, due tosupply chain issues and the rising cost of metals like lithium, cobalt and nickel, according to a July 5 report from BloombergNEF.
. Automakers are raising prices on their electric vehicles due to rising commodity costs, specifically for key materials needed for EV batteries. According to the International Energy Agency, while battery costs have been declining for a decade, EV battery costs are expected to increase 14 percent this year to $150 per kilowatt hour.
This analysis is part of Hyperdrive, a series devoted to the future of cars. It appeared first on Bloomberg.com. Falling battery prices have been one of the most consistent trends in the electric vehicle industry for the last decade. Prices dropped from well over $1,000 per kilowatt hour in 2010 to $141 per kWh last year.
BloombergNEF’s annual battery price survey finds prices increased by 7% from 2021 to 2022 New York, December 6, 2022 – Rising raw material and battery component prices and soaring inflation have led to the first ever increase in lithium-ion battery pack prices since BloombergNEF (BNEF) began tracking the market in 2010.
Turmoil in battery metal markets led the cost of Li-ion battery packs to increase for the first time in 2022, with prices rising to 7% higher than in 2021. However, the price of all key battery metals dropped during 2023, with cobalt, graphite and manganese prices falling to lower than their 2015-2020 average by the end of 2023.
Another firm expects the demand for battery minerals over the next four years to increase the price of EV battery cells by more than 20 percent on top of already-rising prices for battery-related raw materials. Korean battery makers are talking about a 30 to 40 percent rise in prices soon.
