Structural Battery Composites: The Game-Changing Tech Turning Vehicles into Batteries

Structural Battery Composites: A Deep Dive What Are Structural Battery Composites (SBCs) and How Do They Work? In a nutshell, Structural Battery Composites are materials that function as both the skeleton and the battery of a device. Traditional batteries are standalone units – think of the heavy lithium-ion pack bolted into an electric car’s floor. That pack provides energy but adds dead weight and usually needs its own casing for protection. SBCs flip this concept: the energy storage is built into the device’s structure itself, so the material that carries load (like a car frame, body panel, or drone wing)

EV Battery Economics 2025: Cost-Parity Milestones and Chemistry Breakthroughs

Global EV battery pack prices fell about 20% in 2024, dropping from roughly $149/kWh in 2023 to the low $100s by year-end. In 2024, LFP cell prices were just under $60/kWh, and some Chinese LFP packs were produced for well under $90/kWh, enabling price parity with ICE for certain models. In 2024, a NMC811 pack cost about $103/kWh in China and above $100/kWh in other regions, showing higher costs for nickel-based chemistries. As of 2025, mass-market solid-state batteries are not yet in production, with Toyota planning limited production in 2025 for hybrids and MG launching a semi-solid-state pack delivering 1,000+

Global Battery Tech and Energy Storage Developments (June–July 2025)

BYD field-tested solid-state EV batteries with nearly 400 Wh/kg energy density, enabling about 1,500 km ranges on a 12-minute (80%) charge, with prototypes in real cars and aims for industrial scale by 2030. Nissan plans its first solid-state EV in 2028 as part of a broader industry push including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, CATL, and Stellantis. Kalmar (Cargotec) launched a second-generation Li-ion battery system for heavy electric forklifts and port equipment, delivering 10 hours of operation and improved thermal stability. Global EV sales through May 2025 reached 7.2 million units, with China contributing 4.4 million and May 2025 alone at 1.0 million,
