In 2022, the estimated average battery price stood at about USD 150 per kWh, with the cost of pack manufacturing accounting for about 20% of total battery cost, compared to more than 30% a decade earlier. Pack production costs have continued to decrease over time, down 5% in 2022 compared to the previous year.
BNEF expects average battery pack prices to drop again next year, reaching $133/kWh (in real 2023 dollars). Localizing battery manufacturing in regions such as the US and Europe could put upward pressure on battery pack prices due to higher costs associated with energy, equipment, land, and labor compared to Asia.
China still leads as the largest EV battery exporter, with around 12% of its EV batteries exported. “In Europe, the largest battery producers are Poland, which accounted for about 60% of all EV batteries produced in the region in 2023, and Hungary (almost 30%).”
The price drop has been driven by the falling prices of raw materials and components as production capacity increased across the battery value chain. Lithium, nickel, and cobalt, critical raw materials for lithium-ion batteries, are expected to ease further in 2024, contributing to the drop in battery pack prices.
Looking ahead, BNEF expects battery pack prices to decrease significantly to $113/kWh in 2025 and $80/kWh in 2030. These reductions are anticipated to be driven by ongoing advancements in technology and improvements in the manufacturing processes of batteries.
The prices are projected to reach $133/kWh (in real 2023 dollars) next year, reflecting further declines resulting from technological innovation and manufacturing improvements. Looking ahead, BNEF expects battery pack prices to decrease significantly to $113/kWh in 2025 and $80/kWh in 2030.
