It may or may not get cheaper. Lithium isn't semiconductor engineering where every generation you double the density yearly (even that stopped long time ago).

Planning current policies on future scientific discovered usually doesn't end up as planned.
- fpoling 9y agoI do not count on any scientific breakthrough. The current batteries are good enough for cars. It is just too expensive to make them. But most of the price is not inherent in the technology, but rather in expensive specialized tools. Economy of scale should fix this.
- dzhiurgis 9y agoMost cost goes to nickel, cobalt, manganese and other similar metals. Increasing mining capacity can reduce the cost significantly. In very far future tho, most of it is probably going to be all recycled, but thats like 50 years ahead.
