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.

Lithium-ion battery recycler ABTC expands operations and capacity with newly purchased facility

Green Car Congress

The demand for domestically produced and sustainably sourced battery metals has grown at a near insatiable rate over recent years, as the domestic manufacturing capacity of lithium-ion batteries has grown exponentially from less than 50 GWh/year to now more than 700 GWh/year of operational and announced capacity.

DOE: cobalt is the most expensive material used in lithium-ion battery cathodes

Green Car Congress

With the accelerating transition to electric vehicles (EVs), demand for the materials used to produce batteries will increase significantly and rapidly. Aside from the lithium needed to produce modern lithium-ion batteries, much attention is focused on the cost of the materials used for EV battery cathode production.

DOE estimates EV battery pack costs in 2022 nearly 90% lower than in 2008

Green Car Congress

The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Vehicle Technologies Office estimates the cost of an electric vehicle lithium-ion battery pack declined 89% between 2008 and 2022 (using 2022 constant dollars). The decline in cost is due to improvements in battery technologies and chemistries, and an increase in manufacturing volume.

MIT, Brookhaven team develops simple method for stabilizing interfaces in solid-state lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Solid-state batteries could potentially not only deliver twice as much energy for their size, they also could virtually eliminate the fire hazard associated with today’s lithium-ion batteries. The new findings could potentially be applied rapidly to battery production, Yildiz says. —Professor Yildiz.

DOE estimates that EV battery pack costs in 2021 are 87% lower than in 2008

Green Car Congress

Research by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office estimates the cost of an electric vehicle lithium-ion battery pack declined 87% between 2008 and 2021 (using 2021 constant dollars). 100,000 units per year. 100,000 units per year. That compares to $1,237/kWh on a usable-energy basis in 2008.

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies offers material testing for lithium-ion battery electrolytes

Green Car Congress

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) has expanded its material testing capabilities to include performance and compatibility evaluations of the rubber, elastomers and thermoplastics used to seal and safely maintain lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion material testing, however, requires a unique set of inputs to safely succeed.
