NMC111 with equal shares of nickel, manganese and cobalt assumed here. Battery pack price of 130 USD/kWh assumed. Values in brackets show baseline raw material cost assumptions based on monthly average prices from 2010-2020.
The analysis shows that each material only contributes a minor share to total raw material cost. In addition, total raw materials cost only constitute a share of total product price. The cost increase of one raw material will therefore only have a limited impact on lithium-ion battery pack prices.
Mechanical storage technologies have the lowest material cost below 20 USD/kWh due to the low-cost materials employed. Figure 1 - Raw material cost for common electricity storage technologies. Error bars account for variations in each technology's raw material inventory and commodity prices from 2010-2020.
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
LFP battery pack prices are most sensitive to copper, aluminium and lithium hydroxide cost. A quadrupling of all three would increase pack prices by ~35%. In contrast, NMC battery pack prices are most sensitive to the cathode materials, nickel and cobalt. A quadrupling of the cost for both would increase NMC battery pack prices by more than 50%.
Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $245/kWh, $326/kWh, and $403/kWh in 2030 and $159/kWh, $226/kWh, and $348/kWh in 2050.
