EV battery pack prices are on a historic downward trajectory, projected to fall to $115/kWh by 2030, down from $160/kWh in 2025, representing a 7–8% CAGR decline. This price compression is driven by economies of scale, improved cell chemistries, and vertical integration in the supply chain. Leading manufacturers in the U.S., China, and Europe are optimizing production through high-nickel cathodes, silicon-dominant anodes, and automation, reducing raw material costs by 20–25%.

‍

Lower battery prices are significantly improving EV gross margins, enabling OEMs to maintain profitability even at reduced vehicle prices. For mid-size electric cars, cost savings translate to $4,000–$5,500 reduction per vehicle, improving adoption rates across mass-market segments. Supply chain winners are those securing long-term lithium, nickel, and cobalt contracts, or investing in recycling initiatives that offset volatility. Future cost curves indicate pack prices could reach $100/kWh in select high-volume facilities, reinforcing the trend toward affordable EVs by 2035

The collapse in battery prices is no longer theoretical it is reshaping EV economics, accelerating adoption, and rewarding vertically integrated manufacturers and agile supply chain operators.
