    I think the issue there is the tech in EV batteries is constantly changing due to miniaturization, battery chemistry advancements, etc. There has to be some point where the cells are “good enough” to become a standard though. I just don’t think we’re there quite yet.

      true but we figured out things before like this when computer tech was rapidly changing so I do think it’s possible while definitely having its challenges.

      we need an alternative to needing a manufacturer specific part that costs nearly $15,000 and weighing in a ton and requiring a crane to replace.
