The average cost per kWh of a lithium-ion battery was $790 in 2013. BNEF said it expects average battery pack prices to drop again next year to $133/kWh, then to $80/kWh in 2030.
At the start of the year cobalt prices fell to their lowest level ever on an inflation adjusted basis and reached near decade lows nominally. A surge in supply from the Congo,
Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxides are a family of mixed metal oxides of lithium, nickel, manganese and cobalt. Nickel is known for its high specific energy, but poor stability. Manganese has low specific energy but
With the rise of residential energy storage systems (ESS), homeowners are increasingly turning to battery technology to power their homes with renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
At a lower cost are lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are cheaper to make than cobalt and nickel-based variants. LFP battery cells have an average price of $98.5 per kWh.
The dashboard offers BRM monthly averages, actual price assessments and the ability to convert currency of price and units. You can create and save comparisons/charts for a granular understanding of price trends.

A process model has been developed and used to study the production process of a common lithium-ion cathode material, lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide, using the co-precipitation method. The process was simulated for a plant producing 6500 kg day−1.
Schematic of a process for the production of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder. The product stream, a slurry of solid precipitates in a solution, is phase separated, and then filtered and washed several times. The filtration may be done in a rotary vacuum filter followed by drying in a spray dryer.
Battery raw materials like lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have experienced significant price fluctuations over the past five years. Figures 1 and 2 show the development of material spot prices between 2018 and 2023.
For example, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per metric ton in 2022 to about $30,000 in 2024. Similarly, the price for lithium carbonate has fallen from a high of approximately $70,000 per metric ton to well below $15,000 in 2024.
Fig. 6 shows a combination of factors that can lead to the targeted battery pack cost to vehicle manufacturer. The price of the starting material is NMC333 is $25.34 per kg (10% profit added to the cost of the product, $23.04 per kg). Switching the cathode material composition from NMC333 to NMC532 reduces the price by $1.79.
In cell production, the active materials are coated onto electrode foils and assembled with the other components in battery cells. The active materials dominate the LIB cell both in terms of their weight share and their cost share. Accordingly, the cell costs are strongly dependent on the discussed raw material price fluctuations.
