Are lithium-ion batteries cost-saving?

Cost-savings in lithium-ion battery production are crucial for promoting widespread adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles and achieving cost-parity with internal combustion engines. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of projected production costs for lithium-ion batteries by 2030, focusing on essential metals.

What is the production cost of lithium-ion batteries in the NCX market?

Under the medium metal prices scenario, the production cost of lithium-ion batteries in the NCX market is projected to increase by +8 % and +1 % for production volumes of 5 and 7.5 TWh, resulting in costs of 110 and 102 US$/kWh cell, respectively.

Can lithium-ion battery production cost trajectories be projected for 2030?

Lithium-ion battery cost trajectories: Our study relies on a sophisticated techno-economic model to project lithium-ion battery production costs for 2030.

Do cost levels impede the adoption of lithium-ion batteries?

The implications of these findings suggest that for the NCX market, the cost levels may impede the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries, leading to a significant increase in cumulative carbon emissions.

How much does a Lib battery cost?

The average LiB cell cost for all battery types in their work stands approximately at 470 US$.kWh −1. A range of 305 to 460.9 US$.kWh −1 is reported for 2010 in other studies [75, 100, 101]. Moreover, the generic historical LiB cost trajectory is in good agreement with other works mentioned in Fig. 6, particularly, the Bloomberg report .

Why are cost-savings important in lithium-ion battery production?

Abstract Cost-savings in lithium-ion battery production are crucial for promoting widespread adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles and achieving cost-parity with internal combustion engines. This s...
