Analysis
Battery costs have followed a relentless downward trajectory despite a temporary 2022 spike caused by lithium supply chain disruption. The industry is approaching the $100/kWh threshold widely considered necessary for EV cost parity with internal combustion vehicles without subsidies. LFP chemistry and sodium-ion alternatives are accelerating cost reduction.
