LFP growth will likely level off after this year, stabilizing at about 40% of the global battery market for EVs, Stoikou says. And looking ahead, we’ll likely soon see other, newer chemistries making their way into cars. Adding manganese to iron-containing batteries could boost efficiencies while keeping costs low.
The development of battery technology has been pushed forward by several competitive battery suppliers rather than directly by vehicle manufacturers, which sustains a long-term trend towards more supplier content with fierce competition in the EV market.
The resale value of battery electric cars sold after 36 months stood below 40% in 2017, but has since been closing the gap with other powertrains, reaching around 55% in mid-2022.
With increasing battery size and improvements in battery technology and vehicle design, the sales-weighted average range of battery electric cars grew by nearly 75% between 2015 and 2023, although trends vary by segment.
As witnessed in 2023, sales of plug-in hybrid electric cars are growing faster than sales of pure battery electric cars. Plug-in hybrid electric car sales in the first quarter increased by around 75% year-on-year in China, compared to just 15% for battery electric car sales, though the former started from a lower base.
In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt and 10% of nickel demand was for EV batteries. Just five years earlier, in 2017, these shares were around 15%, 10% and 2%, respectively.
The significant decline in BEV cost in 2025 is mainly due to the decline in battery pack cost (∼$3900 for BEV200-car, ∼$6000 for BEV200-SUV) and indirect cost (∼$5900 for …
Much like heating and cooling the interior of a car, heating and cooling an EV''s battery pack burns energy. As such, expect the overall driving range to suffer somewhat when driving in extreme ...
Where I live, energy costs 0.1 EUR per kWh, and a new large good quality car battery costs 100 EUR, so it is actually not 1% of the cost of a new battery but rather 0.1% of the cost of a new …
