In this study, we examined how transitioning to higher‑nickel, lower-cobalt, and high-performance automotive lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) lithium-ion
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,

For instance, a recent parametric LCA study found that climate change impacts of raw materials for a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC-811) battery cell may quintuple from 23 to
The country has some of the lowest labor costs and industrial power prices in Asia, supported by government subsidies. Labor and electricity account for around 6% of total battery pack costs.
2. How to evaluate power battery performance? It is well known that the lithium-ion battery consists of cathode material, anode material, diaphragm and electrolyte, of which the cathode material costs up to 30%, and
Currently, most EVs in Indonesia use LFP batteries because they are more affordable, while NMC batteries are common in premium models due to their higher energy
What Are Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) Batteries? NMC batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery using a cathode composed of nickel, manganese, and
Battery has a significant contribution in EV cost (25% to 40%) and raw material contributes to around 60% of battery manufacturing cost. The battery materials include nickel, cobalt,
The latest data based on EV registrations in over 110 countries show the sales weighted average monthly dollar value of the lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and graphite contained in the
The locally recycled battery materials can also replace the need for primary ores, avoiding the need to build 12 new mines globally by 2040 (4 lithium, 3 nickel, 4 cobalt,
Explore how NMC cathode composition—particularly nickel, manganese, and cobalt content—affects lithium-ion battery performance, energy density, and rate capability. Learn why cobalt is being reduced and how
NMC batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery. They are made with a cathode material that is a mix of nickel, manganese, and cobalt. The ratio of these metals can be varied to change the properties of the battery. NMC
Notes Data until March 2023. Lithium-ion battery prices (including the pack and cell) represent the global volume-weighted average across all sectors. Nickel prices are based on the London
Breaking Down the Cost of an EV Battery Cell As electric vehicle (EV) battery prices keep dropping, the global supply of EVs and demand for their batteries are ramping up.
Introduction "The battery remains the single most expensive component in an EV," notes Sam Abuelsamid, principal analyst at Guidehouse Insights, "and it''s the key determinant of both performance and price." What
For miners supplying the EV battery industry, the news remain negative however: The latest data tracking sales, battery capacity and chemistry in over 110 countries paired with monthly prices show the weighted average
The Detroit Big Three General Motors (GMs), Ford, and Stellantis predict that electric vehicle (EV) sales will comprise 40–50% of the annual vehicle sales by 2030. Among the key components of LIBs, the
At the same time, the average price of a battery pack for a battery electric car dropped below USD 100 per kilowatt-hour, commonly thought of as a key threshold for competing on cost with conventional models. Cheaper
In contrast, global nickel deployment into EV batteries increased 11% to 322.7 kt while that of manganese rose 10% to 73.6 kt and cobalt 7% to 59.6 kt as the industry continues to thrift the metal
Often referred to as li-ion, the ''NMC'' part references the nickel, manganese and cobalt that are the main metals used in the battery chemistry. There are, of course, many different takes on this lithium-ion NMC battery chemistry from
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
Has a high coulombic output, meaning it delivers significant energy or charge during use. Depending on the type of battery and the compatibility of various material
It represents only lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)—those with nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries—at this time, with LFP becoming the primary chemistry for stationary storage starting in 2021.
Indonesia has the potential to become a major player in the electric vehicle space, particularly in the EV battery industry. It has the largest nickel reserves in the world.
Technology advances that have allowed electric vehicle battery makers to increase energy density, combined with a drop in green metal prices, will push battery prices lower than previously expected, according to Goldman
NMC batteries are a type of lithium-ion battery. They are made with a cathode material that is a mix of nickel, manganese, and cobalt. The ratio of these metals can be varied
Notes Data until March 2023. Lithium-ion battery prices (including the pack and cell) represent the global volume-weighted average across all sectors. Nickel prices are based on the London Metal Exchange, used here as a proxy for
Nickel prices are at the shifting dynamics in 2025, from Indonesia''s dominance and production cut plan to evolving EV battery technologies.
The most common types of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC), Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2), and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO).
The report was prepared using Benchmark''s market-leading reporting and analysis on the lithium-ion battery supply chain and broader energy transition, particularly from the quarterly Cobalt
While prices for key battery metals like lithium, nickel and cobalt have moderated slightly in recent months, BNEF expects average battery pack prices to remain elevated in 2023 at $152/kWh (in real 2022 dollars).
Meanwhile, Russia supplies 20% of global high-purity nickel. Average battery prices fell by 6% to USD 132 per kilowatt-hour in 2021, a slower decline than the 13% drop the previous year. If
Most of the cobalt in Indonesia is the by product of nickel smelter, where in the Mixed Hydroxide precipitate (MHP) and Nickel Matte there is still cobalt content that can be leached and processed into cobalt sulphate. Indonesia can only produce 30,000 ton of cobalt in 2020 with 1,3 million ton resources.
Indonesia is an important part of the outlook for both nickel and cobalt at the moment. We’re seeing the share of Indonesian production rise from about 40% to 60% of the total nickel market in 2030.
They’re at a fairly good level now, but they are expected to come down. And that Indonesian supply, particularly the High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) capacity, is expected to be relatively cost competitive, and is likely to pull down prices as well. All in all, the demand profile is very strong for nickel.
China also made a USD 4 billion investment in one of Indonesia’s largest nickel smelters in Morowali, Central Sulawesi Province. The investment is for the construction of a lithium battery factory and a used battery recycling factory.

The most significant investment is from China, and this is natural because China was also Indonesia’s largest nickel importer before the nickel ore ban was introduced . Some added value is created by driving the investment domestically, generating income from employment, investment, tax, and export.
