The cost of raw materials, particularly lithium carbonate, plays a significant role in the pricing of lithium-ion batteries. The recent decrease in lithium prices has been a major factor in lowering battery costs. As lithium is a key component in these batteries, fluctuations in its price directly impact the overall cost of battery production.
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% 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).
Supply chains are struggling to keep up. Lithium-ion battery pack prices vary significantly in different regions. In China they cost $127 per kWh on average, while in the US and Europe prices are 24 and 33 per cent higher respectively.
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.

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. The price of lithium-ion batteries rose for the first time in more than a decade this year, with surging raw material costs expected to challenge the car industry’s efforts to turn electric vehicles into a mass-market product.
The price of batteries for electric vehicles looks set to rise in 2022 following a decade of sharp decline as supplies of lithium and other raw materials fail to keep up with ballooning demand.
