AI Customer ServiceBased on different mineral price growth scenarios ( Fig. S7 and Fig. S8 ), the model predicts that the global weighted averages of LIB pack prices for electric vehicles will range from $66.9/kWh to $88.5/kWh in 2030.
On the other hand, our 2-stage learning curve model, taking into account supply chain structure and materials costs, shows that continued maturation of the existing NMC-based lithium-ion battery technology platform alone is unlikely to reach the $100/kWh price target.
Berckmans et al. predicted cost and sale prices of nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries up to 2030 by using process-based cost modeling, which entailed individual learning curves of the material, energy, labor, and overhead costs .
The U.S. DOE has set a battery price target of $125/kWh by 2022 for clean transportation applications , suggesting that significantly lowering battery price (pack prices were $200-$300/kWh in 2016 and 2017) is a necessity to make EVs economically attractive .
However, strong learning effects in battery manufacturing nonetheless continue to drive total battery pack price reductions over time, approaching ∼$124/kWh in 2030 in the base case, and ranging between $93/kWh to $140/kWh depending on price projections for lithium, cobalt, and nickel.
Direct cathode recycling provides the greatest potential for carbon reduction. LFP might be the only lithium-ion battery to achieve the $80/kWh price target. Cost reductions from learning effects can hardly offset rising carbon prices. Recycling is needed for climate change mitigation and battery economics.
