Solid-state batteries are frequently cited as the next-generation core technology in the field of energy storage. They promise higher energy density, faster charging speeds, and enhanced safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
However, what is the cost of solid-state batteries, and is mass production feasible?
Currently, the cost of solid-state batteries is estimated at $400–600 per kWh. Some projections suggest that this will decrease to $150–200 per kWh by 2030 and potentially reach $100 per kWh thereafter. However, due to challenges in mass production and material costs, prices remain relatively high for now.
Despite offering higher energy density and superior performance compared to lithium-ion batteries, prices are expected to decline as production scales up. Market forecasts predict that advances in technology and improvements in manufacturing efficiency will drive steady cost reductions over the next decade.
This report aims to examine the current pricing of solid-state batteries, future trends, and comparisons with conventional batteries.
