The 2023 Battery Report is now published! 2023 was a year of progress and recalibration for the battery industry, with significant developments in industry, investments, manufacturing, supply chain, innovation, research, policy, and talent. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/dizhYa-Q Some key highlights from this 290+ page report: 2023 🚘 EV “price war” lowered average EV price by 25%, or $15,000 since September 2022. The price gap between EV and fossils is now under $3,000. 📉 Raw materials prices fall in 2023 as supply outpaces demand, lowering cell-level price by 16% to $107/kWh. 🪨 With China’s dominance on graphite and new restrictions on graphite exports, development of graphite facilities in ex-China locations receives renewed attention. 🧪 Latest research in battery materials (Na-ion, Li-metal, solid-state, sulfur). Research related to Na-ion is on the rise, accounting for 13% of publications. 🔋 Battery form-factor trending towards large-format prismatic LFP cells for EVs and BESS. ✅ NACS’s dramatic adoption by nearly all major OEMs in North America 👩🔬 Shortage of battery talent persists, junior battery engineers make $100k+ in Michigan and $125k+ in California. With the industry moving at a breathtaking pace, we hope to lower the barrier for anyone looking to learn more about the battery industry, and to catalyze dialogue on the state of batteries and its trajectory into the future. This report was produced by the Volta Foundation and was a massively collaborative project between 120+ battery professionals from 100+ institutions. Our DMs are always open and would love to hear comments, questions, concerns, or anything in between. Enjoy reading! #BatteryReport2023 #Batteries #EnergyStorage #Energy #EV #ElectricVehicle #BattChat #Sustainability #lithiumionbatteries
