Costs

Battery Manufacturing Costs Continue To Fall In 2024

Average cell production costs have fallen steeply since 2022, driven by plummeting material prices, especially that of lithium carbonate, CAM, and AAM. Low material prices have been driven by overcapacity and oversupply. Initially cost reductions were driven by incremental improvements in manufacturing efficiency and cell design, but processes are now so well-optimised that, for example, LFP costs closely follow the price of lithium carbonate.
