Bringing out my crystal ball, and based on almost every auto manufacturer jumping into the pool (I assume they checked for water first) I would say prices are going to go DOWN just like every other expensive new technology does as mass production kicks in.
So, the real question is WHEN a consumer wants to jump in, not if. But, that when could easily be 30 years from now. That is up to consumers, not me or anyone else to FORCE them into buying.

Not so sure prices will go down, the materials going into a battery might skyrocket as rare earth metals are now produced in only a handful of countries most of them not exactly friendly.
