Future Of Cell Costs
Cell costs expected to continue to decline through the decade Falling raw material prices result in average cell production costs in China dropping below $55/kWh for LFP and $65/kWh for NMC by 2028

$65/kWh would enable <$100/kWh on pack level; cells typically account for 70% of combined pack + cell cost, with remaining 30% due to cost of pack mechanics The cost outlook is primarily influenced by lithium supply-demand-price dynamics Yield rates are already approaching practical limits in China (~99%) Processing (also including electricity), labour, and material costs outside China are generally higher. For example, the cost of manufacturing NMC 811 pouch cells in USA in 2023 was ~80% higher than in China Improving yield rates and economies of scale, along with subsidies, will help with cost-competitiveness for ex.
