LFP spot price comes from the ICC Battery price database, where spot price is based on reported quotes from companies, battery cell prices could be even lower if batteries are purchased in high volume. Estimated cell manufacturing cost uses the BNEF BattMan Cost Model, adjusting LFP cathode prices with ICC cathode spot prices.
Battery costs per kWh vary significantly by application. In 2024, PHEV battery packs cost over three times more per kWh than BEV packs due to smaller size and higher power needs. IEA remarks that a typical 20 kWh PHEV battery pack costs roughly the same as a standard 65 kWh BEV pack despite the substantial capacity difference.
Around Q2/2024 the LFP cell prices in the Chinese domestic market dropped below $60/kWh and it is now known that BYD are now driving this prices down to ~$44/kWh by pressuring the supply chain as well as further utilizing their market position regarding scale and vertical integration.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
Annual battery cell production capacity in Europe was estimated at 175 GWh/year in 2023. Battery component production capacity reached 40 GWh for cell production for cathode active materials; 120 GWh for separator manufacturing, and 230 GWh for electrolyte production.
