Is that even possible at this stage? Car battery technology is still very much in its infancy and alternative forms of storage are an intense point of investment.
I certainly agree that that should happen, but I feel like we’re still in the Wild West era of electric cars.
Standardizing in a battery also means you’re limiting size and placement of battery packs.
Ideally they should make batteries with the intention of being serviced at the end of their life. Why toss an entire pack when 20 individual cells could be replaced for 10% more battery capacity?
