Executive summary – Global EV Outlook 2022 – Analysis
Unprecedented battery demand and a lack of structural investment in new supply capacity are key factors. Russia''s invasion of Ukraine has created further pressures, since Russia supplies 20% of global high-purity nickel. Average battery prices fell by 6% to USD 132 per kilowatt-hour in 2021, a slower decline than the 13% drop the previous year.
