Li-Ion Manufacturing Plant - CapEx By Region
Li-Ion Manufacturing Plant - CapEx By Region
Labor costs, vendor proximity, vertical integration, and policy all factor into CapEx costs of around 2x in NA and EU. CapEx depreciation represents about 25% of cell cost which makes commercial viability difficult in NA & EU. NA & EU have responded with favorable policies for manufacturers and a support for new manufacturing technologies which can lower CapEx and cost per kilowatt-hour produced.
