$35 Cathode active materials
Cell costs are currently dominated by labor and Li-precursor materials
Cell bill of materials cost ("BOM") are expected to have three major inflection points
in purchase volumes related to cell production:
- Prototype pilot line with production up to 6.5 MWh per year (existing)
- C and D Sample production, at 100 MWh per year (likely via a third-party)
Automotive introduction at 10 GWh per year
Greatest cost improvements are expected to come via supply chain development,
purchasing scale, and targeted vertical integration
Today's lithium-ion and Solid Power's high-content silicon and lithium metal
anode cells will share common cathode active material
At automotive scale, Solid Power's BOM is expected to approach $60/kWh and be
dominated by cost of cathode active material (similar to lithium-ion)
Cathode active material ~58% of total BOM
As Solid Power transitions to next generation cathode active materials, its $ / kW
advantage over lithium-ion batteries has the potential to be a further step
function improvement
Current Cathode Active Material: ~$35/kWh (80% Ni intercalation-type)
Next Gen Cathode Active Material: ~$3/kWh (Conversion-type)
