Prices of commodities tend to asymptotically approach the cost of their inputs in a free market. When I was into it a few years ago, I recall hearing the materials cost was about 3% of the cost the batteries and the energy requirements of production are low, so perhaps there's still about 15-20 years of 15% price reductions?
