Electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and grid energy storage all rely on efficient and affordable energy storage solutions, primarily lithium-ion batteries. In 2008, the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) was $1,355, but by 2022, it had dropped to $153 per kWh. But that doesn’t mean prices are set in stone.
