While the pace of price decreases has slowed, lithium-ion battery packs have reached a new record low in 2025. According to the latest analysis by BloombergNEF (BNEF), prices have fallen...
Its price fluctuates based on mining output, processing capacity, and global demand from electric vehicles and renewable energy projects. The cost of lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide
For the better part of a decade, the battery industry has taken for granted that when the prices of lithium and cobalt spike, pack prices inevitably follow. But 2025 has seemingly broken that
BloombergNEF finds 2025 lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped to $108/kWh amid LFP shifts and overcapacity; China saw the steepest declines.
Cell manufacturing overcapacity and intense competition contributed to an 8% year-on-year decline in the average cost of lithium-ion battery packs, according to BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Average battery pack prices were lowest in China, at $84/kWh. Pack prices in the North America and Europe were 44% and 56% higher, reflecting higher local production costs and greater
The average price of cells to pack is considered to be around 70% with a well optimised pack achieving 80%. Using the above values we can replot this as a ratio.
Prices depend on battery chemistry, like LFP or NMC, and geography, such as China or the West. For electric vehicle packs, costs range from $7,000 to $20,000. In mass production of
According to BNEF, battery pack prices for stationary storage fell to $70/kWh in 2025, a 45% decrease from 2024. This represents the steepest decline among all lithium-ion battery use
