DEMAND FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES (LIBs)
Today: 78 GWh
By 2023: 660 GWh
by 2030: 2.6 TWh
by 2040: up to 4 TWh
EUROPE FORECAST
by 2023: 207 GWh
by 2028: 400 GWh will be the European demand for
EVs, creating at least 3-4 million jobs

8. General roadmap for the battery R&D efforts and challenges for EVs
Energy density > 250 Wh/kg
Fast charge
Battery price at pack level < 100 $/kWh
Increase safety
Decrease carbon footprint
Increased cycle life
(> 2000 cycles and 10 years)

10. SECOND-LIFE & RECYCLING
by 2030: 140 million Evs are predicted to be on
the road worldwide and 11 million metric tons
of end-of-life LIBs are expected to be generated
cumulatively
by 2040: the annual waste flows of EV batteries
will reach as high as 340,000 metric tons

ROADMAP ON NEW AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Prepared by Working Group 1 #BatteriesEurope
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council concerning batteries and waste batteries, repealing Directive 2006/66/EC and amending Regulation (EU) No 2019/1020
New EU regulatory framework for batteries - Setting sustainability requirements (2022)
Environmentally-friendliness
Low cost, easy access and sustainable
extraction of raw materials
Sustainability and recyclability of entire system
Low-cost of the final battery technology
Low toxicity
High safety
Excellent performance metrics

14. Alternatives to Li-ion batteries closer to the market
Lack of flammable organic components
Increase in volumetric energy density of up to
70% compared to LIBs with conventional anode
materials

Solid-state batteries
(not before 2028)
Sodium-ion batteries
(commercially introduced in 2021 by CATL)
Wide availability of Na and low cost
Battery components and electric storage mechanisms
are basically the same as LIBs except ion carriers
