Why did NCM battery cell prices drop in May?
Asian nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) battery cell prices fell to their lowest level for the first time in over three years in May, retreating significantly from the peak seen in . A combination of lower critical battery raw material prices, supply glut, a sluggish demand and improving technology has kept a tight lid on NCM []
How much does cobalt cost in ?
For example, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per metric ton in to about $30,000 in . Similarly, the price for lithium carbonate has fallen from a high of approximately $70,000 per metric ton to well below $15,000 in .
