Nouveau Monde Graphite Stock Skyrockets – Future EV Battery King or Overvalued Hype?

Stock Performance and Market Reaction NMG’s share price has been exceptionally volatile. After closing US$3.34 on Oct 10, 2025, the stock jumped to around $5.45 by the Oct 13 after-market benzinga.com. Trading volume on Oct 13 spiked, with MarketBeat reporting a nearly 300% surge from average daily volumes marketbeat.com. This “charge” coincided with broad gains in battery-materials and EV-related equities (e.g. American Battery Tech Co, Almonty Ind. also surged that day benzinga.com). Major headline-driven news directly on Oct 13 was limited, suggesting the move was fueled by momentum and speculation. In recent weeks, analyst commentaries have noted this dichotomy: despite

Beyond Lithium: The Future EV Batteries That Deliver 932 Miles of Range and Charge in Just 5 Minutes

CATL’s Shenxing fast-charge battery can add 520 km of range in 5 minutes on a 1.3 MW charger, enabled by a 12C charging rate. CATL’s automotive-grade sodium-ion battery “Naxtra” delivers 175 Wh/kg energy density and 10,000+ cycles, with mass production slated for end-2025, plus safety tests showing no fires under cutting, crushing, or puncturing and cold-weather performance retaining about 90% capacity at -30°C with 30–80% charging in 30 minutes. CATL’s “Freevoy” dual-chemistry pack combines two cell chemistries to achieve over 1,500 km (932 miles) of range in testing. A lithium-sulfur prototype with a platinum catalyst demonstrated 92% capacity retention after

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+
