According to my sources Chinese domestic cell prices are $70-75/kWh for LFP and $80-90/kWh for NMC. This is significantly lower than BMI’s weighted global cell price average of “below $100”. Note the numbers are not completely apples to apples but still interesting to compare.

If the 80-90 GWh are factual (numbers being finalized) we may need to revise our very aggressive 300 GWh 2025 demand numbers upwards, and consider the 2.2 TWh for 2030. Please note this is an unconstrained demand inline with a 1.6DG UN IPCC carbon budget scenario.

@JomauxJulien That’s the million dollar question. I believe they are pushing prices down to capture market share.

@RystadEnergy closely follows the li-ion battery cell producers. We have recently updated our tiering of the companies, which we use to convert announced capacities to actual production per year. We risk the SOP, ramp-up time and yield rate to get to a supply-demand balance.

I assume most of those interested saw that almost 10% of medium and heavy duty truck sales in December 2023 were eletric (BEV and FCEV)? Well - I looked into Germany and there BEV trucks constituted almost 23% of new vehicle truck registrations in all of 2023!

Typical grid-scale standalone BESS have all-in CAPEX of $350-500. When co-located with SolarPV economies of scale and synergies mean BESS CAPEX can be half - so $175-250. Not many analysts include this in their forecast. @RystadEnergy #energystorage #Battery #Tesla

@teslaenergy @LimitingThe Battery energy storage costs and installation time still have a lot of improvement potential as system design is optimized, componentry is reduced and standardized and manufacturing is scaled. Home batteries will become as ubiquitous and cheap as fridges. What will happen when

@farzyness @elonmusk Yeah actual data shows ev and Tesla batteries last much longer than expected. We have a large fleet of old EVs here in Norway and an energy storage company here was gonna base their cell supply on used ev batteries. But batteries last longer than the 7-10 years expected.
