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.

How much will a lithium pack cost in 2030?

Based on different mineral price growth scenarios ( Fig. S7 and Fig. S8 ), the model predicts that the global weighted averages of LIB pack prices for electric vehicles will range from $66.9/kWh to $88.5/kWh in 2030.

Can a lithium-ion battery be recycled?

Direct cathode recycling provides the greatest potential for carbon reduction. LFP might be the only lithium-ion battery to achieve the $80/kWh price target. Cost reductions from learning effects can hardly offset rising carbon prices. Recycling is needed for climate change mitigation and battery economics.

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.

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.
