With lithium-ion battery prices in a free fall, down to $78 per kWh versus $290 kWh in 2014, that could all change. Currently, the battery amounts to around a third of the cost of an electric car. With lower lithium-ion battery prices, theoretically, the cost of electric cars should fall as well.
Lithium prices have dropped nearly 90 percent since 2022, a drop so dramatic it's actually led to mine closures. With that drop in price per kilowatt-hour, lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles should become much cheaper, affecting the overall price of electric vehicles as a whole.
Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used. Lithium-ion battery cells have also seen an impressive price reduction. Since 1991, prices have fallen by around 97%. Prices fall by an average of 19% for every doubling of capacity. Even more promising is that this rate of reduction does not yet appear to be slowing down.
The global average price of lithium-ion battery packs has fallen by 20% year-on-year to USD 115 (EUR 109) per kWh in 2024, marking the steepest decline since 2017, according to BloombergNEF’s annual battery price survey, unveiled on Tuesday. Battery storage system. Image by: Aurora Energy Research.
Lithium prices shined from 2020 through 2022, driven by surging demand for electric vehicles, especially in China, alongside the precious metal’s limited supply. That trend stopped short in 2023, with the lithium price dropping sharply. Falling EV demand and increasing lithium supply are the main factors, but are they short or long term?
That includes lithium and cobalt, and nearly 60% of the cost of batteries is from metals. When we talk about the battery from, let's say, 2023 to all the way to 2030, roughly over 40% of the decline is just coming from lower commodity costs, because we had a lot of green inflation during 2020 to 2023.
