Widespread EV Adoption Lifts Demand for Lithium

Retrieved on:

Wednesday, November 2, 2022

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium-ion batteries are being rapidly adopted due to their compact size, rechargeability, recyclability and high-density energy output. They are, among other things, a source of power for electric vehicles (EVs). Additionally, the growing awareness about the amount of carbon emissions released into the environment from automobiles has helped spur the adoption of electric vehicles around the globe. This, in turn, has put the onus on manufacturers to offer electric vehicles running on lithium-ion batteries, instead of adopting other battery alternatives due to their lightweight nature, high energy density, and low cost. Now, it is expected that the global lithium-ion battery market will grow at a CAGR of around 26.04% to reach a value of around USD 160.21 Billion by 2026, having stood at USD 42.30 Billion in 2020, according to Research and Markets.

Monday, October 31, 2022

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The growth of the Li-Ion battery (LIB) market has led to a rise in demand for lithium. LIBs are a crucial component in the development of a future energy infrastructure. For example, the battery of a Tesla Model S has about 12 kilograms of Li in it, while grid storage solutions are currently being built to make renewable energy more affordable and reliable. EVs are promoted as a sustainable transportation choice on account of life-cycle basis, as they emit fewer GHG than conventional vehicles. For instance, Tesla is planning for next-generation EV batteries that would focus on introducing Li-iron phosphate batteries to market. This will cut the vehicle costs, extend the vehicle range up to 400 miles or more, and enable the batteries to last as long as 1 million miles. And, according to data provided by Fortune Business Insights, the global lithium market size was USD 3.64 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 6.62 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 8.1% during the 2021-2028 period.

Key Points:

The price of cobalt, which was $32,000 per ton at the end of 2017, spiked at $82,000 last spring.
The strategic relationship brings together two companies leading in technology innovation focused on accelerating clean energy adoption and reducing global carbon emissions.
The companies will collaborate on what they believe to be a first-of-its-kind solution to incorporate QuantumScape's battery technology into Fluence stationary energy storage products as specific technical and commercial milestones are met.
