6 FAQs about [Analysis of the reasons for the sharp drop in battery costs]
Will a drop in green metal prices push electric vehicle battery prices lower?
Technology advances that have allowed electric vehicle battery makers to increase energy density, combined with a drop in green metal prices, will push battery prices lower than previously expected, according to Goldman Sachs Research.
Are EV battery prices falling?
And a big part of this shift comes down to one thing: EV battery prices are plummeting. A recent report from Goldman Sachs projects a nearly 50% drop in EV battery costs by 2026, with prices expected to fall from $149 per kWh in 2023 to just $80 per kWh. By 2030, that number could drop to $60 per kWh.
Why are battery prices so low in 2023?
When we talk about the battery from, let's say, 2023 to all the way to 2030, roughly over 40% of the decline is just coming from lower commodity costs, because we had a lot of green inflation during 2020 to 2023. The level of those metal prices was very high. What’s enabling battery makers to increase energy density so dramatically?
How will EV battery prices change in 2026?
EV battery prices are projected to drop nearly 50% by 2026. Technological advancements like “cell-to-pack” designs increase energy density and reduce costs. EVs are expected to reach cost parity with gasoline vehicles in 2026. Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a niche option.
What factors affect the cost reduction of battery cells?
Within the historical period, cost reductions resulting from cathode active materials (CAMs) prices and enhancements in specific energy of battery cells are the most cost-reducing factors, whereas the scrap rate development mechanism is concluded to be the most influential factor in the following years.
How much will battery electric cars cost in 2026?
Our researchers forecast that average battery prices could fall towards $80/kWh by 2026, amounting to a drop of almost 50% from 2023, a level at which battery electric vehicles would achieve ownership cost parity with gasoline-fueled cars in the US on an unsubsidized basis.
