Global average lithium-ion battery pack prices have fallen 20% to US$115 per kWh this year, going below US$100 for electric vehicles (EVs), BloombergNEF said.

The 20% drop is the biggest annual fall since 2017, the clean energy market intelligence arm of media company Bloomberg said in its annual Lithium-Ion Battery Price Survey, which found a 14% fall last year.
