For another data point, it's 8000 Euros (about US$8800) to buy the factory 52kWh battery for a 2020 Renault Zoe (AFAIK still Europe's largest-selling EV). That's $169/kWh. The 2019 Zoe battery was 42kWh and cost 9000 Euros ($235/kWh). I'm sure that at some point, lithium batteries will probably reach the stage that lead batteries have, where they're effectively commodities whose price depends mostly on that of the raw materials going into them. I don't see a way to predict when that might happen. Also, as I and others have pointed out in this thread, there are other EV costs besides the battery that haven't yet been significantly reduced.
