The nickel demand for EV batteries consists of two parts in essence: the nickel demand for batteries in new vehicles and the nickel demand for replacement batteries. According to the results, the former shows a continuous growth trend, which is mainly influenced by more and more extensive application of EVs and nickel–rich cathodes in NPBs.
For example, a doubling of lithium or nickel prices would induce a 6% increase in battery costs. If these events happen at the same time, the cost increase would eat up the anticipated learning effects associated with a doubling of capacity.
But 54% of the battery capacity deployed last year used high-nickel-content cathode chemistry, according to Adamas Intelligence. Low-nickel chemistry accounted for 26% and no-nickel products just 20%.
Despite the price growth of lithium outpacing other minerals, LFP batteries remain more affordable compared to Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries. In 2023, the price difference narrowed, with NMC batteries being less than 25% more expensive than their LFP counterparts, down from a 50% premium in 2021.
However, the expected surge in prices of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, four critical materials in EV batteries, could hinder EV uptake.
