    Soaring Lithium Costs to Heighten Prices of China EV Batteries, BMI Reveals

    Rising costs of materials such as lithium and nickel used to manufacture electric vehicle batteries are contributing to the increased prices of these batteries in China.

    • This is opposite to the expectations that prices of the lithium-ion rechargeable batteries utilized in powering electric vehicles, critical for the energy transition, would continue dropping over time.
    • Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (BMI), Chief Executive Simon Moores stated that the initial cost rises from large-scale battery production had been achieved with the development of gigafactories.
    • Moores added that the costs of raw materials, more so lithium, are increasing and feeding into battery costs.
    • Electric vehicle batteries utilize lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide. BMI’s evaluation of the lithium carbonate prices in China reveals an increase of over 300% over the last year to $28,675 a tonne in mid-October.

    Widespread power crunch in China leading to a decline in supplies and rapid increase in demand have led to shortages of nickel sulfate and increased prices of battery chemicals.
