It looks like $156 in 2019 & $137 in 2020. Estimates are $100/kwh by 2023-24 and $58/kwh by 2030.

I do wonder how a dramatic shift towards Li powered cars will effect the price. We may see demand outpace supply for a decade or more. I hope it is the other way around because cheap lithium batteries flooding the market would have many positive implications.

It's very unlikely that large companies would leave that much money on the table (they will invest in supply).

There is no doubt that energy storage will be huge and worth investment at massive scale.

As to Li-ion, well the future is good, but not so certain.
