Inside the Battery: Cost Modelling, Chemistry Choices, and What's Coming Next
18 Sep 2025
The Power Up Stage
As EV makers and battery producers race to cut costs, chemistry choices are under renewed scrutiny. With LFP's rise, NCM evolution, and new architectures emerging, cost modelling is becoming more complex ' and more essential to guide R&D, procurement, and investment decisions.
