Abstract

Predicting the interrelation of lithium-ion battery performance and cost (BatPaC) is critical to understanding the origin of the manufacturing cost, pathways to lower these costs, and how low these costs may fall in the future. A freely available BatPaC model is presented that enables a direct evaluation of manufacturing cost. After the basis for the model is detailed, an in-depth discussion of the cost drivers highlights the most significant contributions to the total battery cost. Approaches to reducing battery cost are presented within the context of materials, engineering, and manufacturing.
