5 · The price of lithium-ion battery packs has fallen 14% this year, reaching a record low of USD 139 (EUR 127) per kWh and reversing the unprecedented rise observed in 2022, according to a new BloombergNEF (BNEF) report, unveiled on Monday.
Lithium-ion battery pack price dropped to 139 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour in 2023, down from over 160 dollars per kilowatt-hour a year earlier.
For battery electric vehicle (BEV) packs in particular, prices were $138/kWh on a volume-weighted average basis in 2022. At the cell level, average BEV prices were just $115/kWh. This indicates that on average, cells account for
After more than ten years of decreases, the volume-weighted average price for lithium-ion battery packs across all industries has risen to $151/kWh in 2022, a 7% increase from the previous year in real terms.
Lithium-ion battery pack prices averaged $132 per kwh in 2021—down from $140 per kwh in 2020—and $101 per kwh on a cell basis, the report said. However, higher raw material prices are
New York, November 27, 2023 – Following unprecedented price increases in 2022, battery prices are falling again this year. The price of lithium-ion battery packs has dropped 14% to a record low of $139/kWh, according to analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF).
The volume-weighted average for lithium-ion battery pack prices reached $151/kwh this year, a 7% increase over 2021, according to the report. It marks the first time average pack prices have
For battery electric vehicle (BEV) packs in particular, prices were $118/kWh on a volume-weighted average basis in 2021. At the cell level, average BEV prices were just $97/kWh. This indicates that on average, cells account for 82% of
Battery pack prices are now expected to fall by an average of 11% per year from 2023 to 2030, writes Nikhil Bhandari, co-head of Goldman Sachs Research''s Asia-Pacific Natural Resources and Clean Energy Research, in the team''s report.
BNEF expects battery price to start dropping again in 2024, when lithium prices are expected to ease as more extraction and refining capacity comes online. Based on the updated observed learning rate, BNEF''s 2022 Battery Price Survey predicts that average pack prices should fall below $100/kWh by 2026.
