Well, now it seems we’ve got a clear winner, and it’s Tesla’s North American Charging Standard.

The average price of a lithium-ion battery pack for a light-duty EV has decreased 90% over the past 15 years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates.

That's still not quite at the magical $100/kwh many analysts point to as the point at which EVs can achieve cost parity with gasoline cars, but it's down significantly from the $1,415/kwh (using 2023 constant dollars) average in 2008.
