The two main engines of mass electrification are battery energy density and battery costs and both improved tremendously over the past 15 years.
The report forecasts that battery pack prices will fall below the $100/kWh benchmark by 2026—considered a critical tipping point for EV affordability. In China, where
This study presents detailed cost breakdowns of the battery and other electric drive components of the ZEV powertrain across several diferent classes of passenger vehicles in Canada and
When we look at the BloombergNEF battery chart we see a decreasing pack price, but is the Pack to Cell Cost Ratio changing? BloombergNEF chart [1]. Note: historical prices have been updated to reflect
The decline in battery prices in China will eventually benefit consumers in the global markets as well. The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) industry could benefit the most from plummeting battery prices.
Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% in 2024, reaching $115/kWh. EV battery prices dip below $100/kWh—explore the trends behind this decline.

BNEF modelled forecast scenarios reflecting both that planned 2026 rise in Section 301 tariffs, as well as a potential extra 10% hike on top, and a more extreme outlook reflecting a 60% tariff rate being placed on battery racks
The price of battery packs for electric vehicles has dropped this year by the most since 2017 as oversupply from China and cheaper lithium prices have driven the decline,
In 2024, when additional extraction and refining capacity will be available, BNEF anticipates that battery costs will begin to decline once more. According to BNEF''s 2022
This cost curve estimates the volume-averaged, U.S.-manufactured battery pack cost of PHEVs and BEVs in the United States to be $140/kWh for the model year 2023, which will reduce to
After tumbling to record low in 2024 on the back of lower metal costs and increased scale, lithium-ion battery prices are expected to enter a period of stabilization.
Though the battery pack is a significant portion of the cost of the battery system, it is a fraction of the cost of the system overall. This cost breakdown is different if the battery is part of a hybrid system with solar photovoltaics (PV) or a stand
This trend is visualised in Goldman Sachs'' graphical analysis, which illustrates a consistent reduction across all components of the energy storage system: cathode and anode materials, operations and maintenance,
Within this transformation, battery costs are considered a main hurdle for the market-breakthrough of battery-powered products. Encouraged by this, various studies have been published attempting to predict these,
Understand why EV battery prices have been decreasing over the last few years. Get S&P Global Mobility''s forecasts for EV battery cell prices through 2030.
That’s remarkably lower than the average global rate in 2023 ($95/kWh). Bloomberg attributes not one but three factors to the fast-falling and significantly low battery cost in China: declining raw-material prices, overcapacity, and shrinking margins. Raw material prices took a big hit in the last one and a half years.
Further price declines are expected over the next decade. Battery prices saw their biggest annual drop since 2017, with lithium-ion battery pack prices down by 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115/kWh, according to analysis by BloombergNEF (BNEF).
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.

BloombergNEF (BNEF), which researches commodity markets and revolutionary technologies, estimates battery prices will remain low for at least several more years. A sustained price reduction can give the world big gains in the automotive and power sectors.
Tariffs rises were on the table for whichever candidate had won the election since Biden had, prior to stepping down from the race for Kamala Harris, announced a rise in Chinese battery import duties from 7.5% today to 25% beginning in 2026, and the industry was already making preparations for that.
Battery prices continue to tumble on the back of lower metal costs and increased scale, squeezing margins for manufacturers. Further price declines are expected over the next decade.
