Will LFP dominate future batteries?

This 15-page report argues LFP will dominate future batteries, explores LFP battery costs, and draws implications for EVs and renewables. 2024 has offered up some exceptionally low battery prices. Most build-ups suggest lithium ion batteries should cost $110-130/kWh. Yet the pricing on Chinese LFP batteries has been reported at $50-80/kWh.

How much do LFP batteries cost?

With both the EV industry and stationary storage sectors increasingly adopting batteries with LFP cathode chemistry, LFP pack average prices were found to be US$130/kWh and LFP cells at US$95/kWh. LFP is now just less than 1/3 (32%) cheaper than NMC.

Are LFP batteries good for EVs?

Where does LFP spot price come from?

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.

Why are LFP battery costs lower?

LFP battery costs are lower, specifically because of these chemical and performance differences. Cost savings on the materials side are quantified on page 5, while cost savings on the cathode manufacturing side are quantified on page 6. Chinese manufacturing of LFP batteries is the biggest reason for the downwards shift in the battery cost curve.

Are LFP batteries better than NMC batteries?

The report states that LFP batteries reached 80% of the batteries sold in China during November and December. “The higher energy density of NMC batteries remains an advantage for applications requiring longer ranges or operation in cold climates,” the report notes.
