Technology advances that have allowed electric vehicle battery makers to increase energy density, combined with a drop in green metal prices, will push battery prices lower than previously expected, according to Goldman Sachs Research.
Our researchers forecast that average battery prices could fall towards $80/kWh by 2026, amounting to a drop of almost 50% from 2023, a level at which battery electric vehicles would achieve ownership cost parity with gasoline-fueled cars in the US on an unsubsidized basis.

We estimate our baseline scenario at battery prices of US$100 kWh –1. Data from China, which has the highest amount of heavy-duty electric vehicles (HDEV), show that battery prices for buses and other HDEVs are somewhat lower than the average battery prices for light-duty electric vehicles (LDEV) in China and globally 19.
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.
At current wholesale diesel prices of US$0.56 l –1 and ignoring environmental damages, all-inclusive electricity prices would need to approach US$0.056 kWh –1 with battery prices at US$100 kWh –1 and US$0.074 kWh –1 with battery prices at US$50 kWh –1 to compete with diesel.
Between 2010 and 2020, battery energy densities tripled and battery pack prices declined 87% (ref. 18). Average industry prices are expected to reach US$100 kWh –1 by 2023 and US$58 kWh –1 by 2030, with some automakers already achieving lithium-ion battery pack prices of US$100 kWh –1 (ref. 19).
