The cost structure of new energy vehicles (NEVs) plays a crucial role in understanding the economics behind these innovative automotive technologies. One of the most significant components of an NEV's cost is its battery, which typically accounts for around 40% of the total production cost. This is followed by other key elements such as the motor, electronic control systems, and electric drive components.
**Battery Cost Breakdown:**
- **Battery:** ~40%
- **Motor:** ~15%
- **Electronic Control:** ~12%
- **Electric Drive Components:** ~8%
- **Other Costs:** ~25%
As shown in the image below, the battery itself is composed of various materials and processes, with raw materials making up the largest portion at about 70%. The remaining costs are attributed to labor, hydropower, and depreciation.
**Lithium Battery Cost Composition:**
- **Raw Materials:** 70%
- **Positive Electrode:** 30%-40%
- **Separator:** 15%-30%
- **Electrolyte:** 20%-30%
- **Negative Electrode:** 5%-15%
- **Labor & Hydropower:** 20%
- **Depreciation:** 10%
In terms of major manufacturers, several companies play a vital role in the supply chain of NEVs. For example, the production of positive electrode materials involves leading firms that specialize in this area. Similarly, separators, electrolytes, and negative electrodes are produced by different manufacturers, each contributing to the overall battery performance.
**Motor and Electronic Control Systems:**
The motor and electronic control system are essential parts of any new energy vehicle. Permanent magnet motors are widely used due to their efficiency and reliability. These motors are not only responsible for power delivery but also directly impact key vehicle performance metrics such as acceleration, top speed, and hill-climbing ability.
In the domestic motor market, there are three main categories of players:
1. **Traditional Motor Companies:** Firms like Oai Electric and others with experience in motor manufacturing are transitioning into the NEV sector.
2. **Specialized Electric Drive Manufacturers:** Companies such as Shanghai Electric Drive, Shanghai Dajun, and Beijing Jingjin focus specifically on producing electric drive systems for new energy vehicles.
3. **Integrated Vehicle Manufacturers:** Companies like BYD have built comprehensive vertical integration, allowing them to manage the entire production process from battery to motor.
Currently, BYD and Shanghai Electric Drive dominate the domestic motor market, with BYD holding a market share of approximately 25%-30%, and Shanghai Electric Drive accounting for 20%-23%.
Understanding the cost structure of new energy vehicles helps stakeholders make informed decisions about investment, innovation, and strategic planning in this rapidly evolving industry.
