Reduction In Cost of Li-Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion battery is a major component of automotive lithium-ion battery pack that is used as an energy source responsible for the functioning of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles may use only electric motors or it may use internal combustion engine and electric motor as a combination to propel the vehicle. Lithium-ion battery is being adopted in the electric vehicles market owing to its light weight and its ability to hold the charge better than any other conventional batteries. Market demand of lithium-ion battery in electric vehicle market not only depends on its performance but also on the prices of lithium-ion battery. For instance, International Renewable Energy Agency have estimated that the global lithium-ion battery production capacity has increased by 521% between 2016 and 2020. They’ve also estimated that the lithium-ion mega factories in China is expected to grow its capacity by six times by the year 2020. The battery cost has fallen from over $1000 in 2010 to approx. $200 currently.
