Commenting on your comment, the cost of the battery pack is roughly 70% cells and 30% battery pack. Using those numbers, cells at $100/kwh would result in packs costing roughly $143/kwh, vs the current situation where cells are costing them roughly $105/kwh. It doesn't seem like enough of a drop to warrant the hyperbole in the article if is a ~5% drop in cell price. Maybe they are talking about making packs for $100/kwh, which would be more impressive. Given that pack prices have been dropping 18%/yr, pack prices dropping to $100/kwh is about 2.5 years away. Hiring for a production process that matures ~2 years in the future seems feasible. Maybe they are talking about pack prices?
