Customer ServiceWhen we measured how much it cost to charge four 6.0Ah 40V batteries (which is what our Ryobi snow blower runs off) the results were exactly what you''d expect: 12 cents (3 cents per battery). If you''re curious how much that saves us per snow blow, it costs about 1/15th the price to run a battery-powered snow blower over a gas-powered snow blower.

Customer ServiceLondon and Kinshasa, November 24, 2021 – The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can leverage its abundant cobalt resources and hydroelectric power to become a low-cost and low-emissions producer of lithium-ion battery cathode precursor materials.
This is three times cheaper than what a similar plant in the U.S. would cost. A similar plant in China and Poland would cost an estimated $112 million and $65 million, respectively. Precursor material produced at plants in the DRC could be cost competitive with material produced in China and Poland but with a lower environmental footprint.
“The DRC’s cost competitiveness comes from its relatively cheap access to land and low engineering, procurement and construction, or EPC, cost compared to the U.S., Poland and China,” said Kwasi Ampofo, lead author of the report and BNEF’s head of metals and mining.
Production is expected to commence by the end of 2021. The lithium and tin project is located approximately 500km north of Lubumbashi in the southern part of DRC. The project area is situated within the mining licence PR13359, which spans approximately 188km².
In so doing, the country and the rest of Africa can extend their access from the USD271 billion battery precursor segment to the more lucrative USD1.4 trillion combined battery cell production and cell assembly segments of the battery minerals global value chain.
