At the moment design electric car, many elements should be taken into account. Material the most important for construction is lithium.

Indeed, it is element which allows manufacturing Batteriesnecessary for normal functioning electric car.

Unfortunately, lithium very high pricethat affects rates construction workers But now the agreement could change.

A confirmed trend

From the beginning 2023 yearlithium price only lower And that’s not such a bad thing, because it saves manufacturers from increasing even more car prices already high

If we look at the numbers given specialiststhe price of lithium carbonate fell approx 65% since the beginning of the year.

A ton is now under $30,000 or less 27,600 euros. What to give a little rest to consumers before seeing why reduction the price of electric cars.

The recent drop in lithium prices should mean cheaper batteries again, but it usually takes months for lower prices to translate into cheaper cars, in which case prices could rise again.

Are the prices of electric cars falling?

But beware reduction not necessarily lithium prices synonymous general decrease in electric cars

We remind you in June 2020a ton of lithium was 5500 euros. The price is seven times less than what we find Currently. However, there were no prices lower to what we have today.

finally, production batteries account for a small part lithium carbonate. Which means that total price electric car will be affected, but not as much as we would like.

A decline that will continue

Nonetheless, decline lithium prices will be felt car drivers wishing to invest in mobility purifier.

According to various manufacturers, this drop may allow a reduction of 1,000 euros production costs.

It could be felt from the client’s side tariffs suffered a fall more than 1000 euros.

And according to the Chinese manufacturer Nio, this trend should continue in the coming months with price one ton about 200,000 yuan or a little more 26,000 euros.
