I was seeing the opposite, that the price for cells was going down, when I was looking for these. But I haven't looked since I bought them in November. Electric cars use a different cell chemistry than the LiFePO4 I'm using. They trade maximum power density for a cell that will burn (LiFePO4 doesn't emit flammable gas when its in thermal runaway). I would *guess* any price increase in LiFePO4 would be because of supply chain issues rather than electric car demand.
