Cell Energy Density Roadmap to 2035
Keep getting asked about cell energy roadmaps and wanted to put this in context, hence using our cell database to set the scene and then walk out to 2035.
How the charts were built
- The year for each cell is its start of production. Where a pre-production cell has no production date, we used the year it was announced.
- A cell counts as production if it is a C or D sample, or has no sample level recorded, and is dated 2026 or earlier. Pre-A, A and B samples and anything dated after 2026 are shown as pre-production. The cell sample maturity page explains the A to D levels.
- The best-cell line for each chemistry is the highest value reached by any production cell up to that year, so it only ever rises.
- Four groups: graphite or silicon-blend NMC, NCA, NCMA and LCO; LFP and LMFP; sodium-ion; and next-gen EV-format, which covers semi-solid, solid-state and lithium-metal cells from automotive programmes. Drone and aviation cells using the same chemistries are plotted as a separate dotted line and are not projected.
- Seven rows were left out because the numbers cannot be right for the stated chemistry, for example LFP cells listed at close to 900 Wh/L. They are being checked in the database.
