IHS Markit: average cost of lithium-ion battery cell to fall below $100/kWh in 2023

Green Car Congress

The average cost of a Li-ion battery cell—used to power electric vehicles and to provide flexibility in the power grid as more renewables, such as solar and wind, are added will fall below $100 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in the next three years, according to a new analysis by IHS Markit. Cost is the name of the game.

Who Really Invented the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery?

Cars That Think

Fifty years after the birth of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it’s easy to see its value. By Christmas, he had developed a battery with a titanium-disulfide cathode and a liquid electrolyte that used lithium ions. I went in there and explained it—5 minutes, 10 at the most,” Whittingham told me in January 2020.

Roskill sees recovery in lithium industry, buoyed by demand from rechargeable battery applications

Green Car Congress

In 2019, monthly average lithium carbonate prices fell 36% between January and December. Q1 2020 saw monthly average prices fall further to less than US$7,000/t Li 2 CO 3 for the first time since 2014, eroding price increases caused by forecast strong demand growth in the lithium-ion battery industry and uncertainty over future supply.
