The sustained decline in battery pack costs is expected to accelerate price parity between electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) models. According to Goldman Sachs’ latest projections, the average global cost of battery packs is forecast to drop from over $150/kWh in 2023 to below $60/kWh by 2030.
BNEF’s Levelized Cost of Electricity report indicates that the global benchmark cost for battery storage projects fell by a third in 2024 to $104 per megawatt-hour (MWh), as a glut in supply due to slower electric vehicle sales led to cheaper prices for battery packs.
Energy storage deployments grew by 50% year-over-year, driving demand and impacting battery costs The demand for energy storage is rising rapidly, with deployments increasing by 50% year-over-year. This growth is being driven by the need for grid stability, renewable energy storage, and backup power solutions.
The price of batteries is one of the biggest factors affecting the growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage. Over the past decade, battery prices have fallen drastically, making EVs more affordable and energy storage more viable. But how much have these prices actually dropped? And what does the future hold for battery costs? 1.
