. 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.
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.
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.
There are two main drivers. One is technological innovation. We're seeing multiple new battery products that have been launched that feature about 30% higher energy density and lower cost. The second driver is a continued downturn in battery metal prices. That includes lithium and cobalt, and nearly 60% of the cost of batteries is from metals.
Over the past 30 years, battery costs have fallen by a dramatic 99 percent; meanwhile, the density of top-tier cells has risen fivefold. As is the case for many modular technologies, the more batteries we deploy, the cheaper they get, which in turn fuels more deployment. For every doubling of deployment, battery costs have fallen by 19 percent.
Higher battery prices could also hurt the economics of energy storage projects. Yayoi Sekine, head of energy storage at BNEF, said: “Despite a setback on price declines, battery demand is still reaching new records each year. Demand will reach 603GWh in 2022, which is almost double that in 2021.
As volumes increased, battery costs plummeted and energy density — a key metric of a battery''s quality — rose steadily. Over the past 30 years, battery costs have fallen by a dramatic 99 percent; meanwhile, the …
