Yes I agree you will not find Neah in the 2016 report...the batteries did not show up at the DOE until June of 2017

as for some of the other information .....devil is in the details...

Taking the high end of that range, since GM uses liquid cooling to condition its battery packs, would put the Bolt EV's pack at just over $200 per kilowatt-hour, right in line with the average cost stated in the report.

Citing discussions with "EV experts" at last month's Consumer Electronics Show, the industry trade journal indicated that battery prices could be on the verge of achieving a crucial milestone.

The Silicon Valley automaker will rely on economies of scale from its massive "Gigafactory" cell and battery-pack plant in Nevada to achieve that combination of range and price, which it says will make the Model 3 profitable.

On the other hand, Tesla claims to have the industry leading cost of batteries, but it has only officially disclosed being under $190 per kWh back in 2016, but that was for both the battery cell and battery pack costs – and before the Gigafactory.
