I'm sure that is exactly the calculation all the major car makers are making right now. I would bet the cost of the batteries will be at least half what they are today, but who knows about the whole car. Scale and tech improvements drive costs down pretty fast. If they can sell a few hundred thousand a year, then costs will come down quickly, enough that by 2020 we'll be pretty certain EVs will dominate over the long run.
