FutureBatteryLab Cost of solid state batteries: Expensive premium solution or affordable all-rounder? 22. December 2022 Solid-state batteries are being touted as the energy storage devices of tomorrow and are expected to find widespread use in a few years – from electric cars to airplanes.
Sure enough, by 2021 the Energy Department was anticipating that production costs for a solid-state battery, and other advanced batteries, to drop into the $60 range. That remains to be seen.
Solid state batteries were not supposed to happen until the end of the decade, but it sure looks like they are happening now. The new technology is billed as a next-generation improvement on the familiar lithium-ion EV batteries.
For the ramp-up phase of solid-state batteries, there is also already a forecast of costs: in a study conducted in 2019, CISION PR Newswire estimates the cost at $400-800 per kWh in 2026 , which is four to eight times higher than current battery systems. But how do things look beyond these scaling effects?
For those of you new to the topic, a solid state battery is just what it says: A battery with a solid electrolyte instead of the liquid commonly used in both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries (see lots more CleanTechnica coverage here).
Some research suggests that solid-state batteries could use five to 10 times as much lithium as current-gen batteries. There's already a lithium shortage, so that's a significant issue, especially with Toyota planning to bring these batteries to market in the second half of this decade.
