Also, The OP asked about EV battery prices, which are about more than the cell, and also include the price of the pack/enclosure, which is 25% of the cost and hasn't budged much in the last few years [1]. Maybe structural battery packs will eliminate this cost completely in the future.

And then there is the reality that most EVs are still being designed and marketed as upmarket luxury cars, and not with the goal of maximizing mass adoption of EVs in the near term.

The market for EVs is the market for higher end new vehicles today. Therefore even as battery prices drop, other factors will probably keep the prices pretty high in the near future.
