Lithium-ion (Li-ion) EV battery prices have decreased dramatically over the past few years, mainly due to the fall in prices of critical battery metals: Lithium, cobalt and nickel. For example, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per metric ton in to about $30,000 in .
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, which produces 64% of the global cobalt supply, demand is expected to grow by 7.5% annually until , despite it playing a decreasing role in battery chemistry. Challenges associated with cobalt include ethical sourcing and price instability, intensifying the
