According to the prediction of research institutions, the global demand for EV batteries will reach 1200 GWh by 2025, and the demand for energy storage batteries will exceed 300 GWh. In 2023, the global installed capacity of lithium-ion batteries will enter the TWh era. However, with the decline of Lithium carbonate and battery raw material prices, as well as the impact of battery overcapacity and other factors, cost reduction and efficiency increase have become an important proposition for the survival and development of power and energy storage battery enterprises.
01. Key to cost reduction, innovative battery structure
Battery enterprises can reduce costs through cell material innovation, large-scale intelligent manufacturing, and battery structure innovation. Due to the characteristics of long research and development cycle, huge initial investment, and high difficulty, the progress of material innovation is slow. In contrast, the battery structure innovation has achieved quick results, small investment, and low cost, which has become an important driving force for alternative fuel vehicle enterprises and EV and storage battery plants to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
02. Continuously innovating and iterating, Lyric seizes the opportunity
In terms of battery structure innovation, as the first tier enterprise of high-end intelligent equipment, Lyric is well aware of its importance and closely follows customer innovation.
