I have to ask why? I can't see any positives outside of fleet vehicles and there are plenty of negatives.
Repairability. A battery should be able to be replaced.
Having options is good for the consumer.
Aren't EV batteries good for the life of the vehicle? Why would you want to replace one?
Can't tell if this is a serious comment or not... Sure a battery will last as long as the car, but it's of limited use of it only holds 30% of its original capacity after 7 or 8 years. Sure. It'll do 75 miles, so still useful for city drivers, but not for its intended use.
EV batteries lose about 1-2‰ per year. At the high end, that would be down to 78% after 10 years. A 300mi EV would still do 230mi.
Yep! Thats about what I think. I will not buy a car that are like most modern day cell phones. If the battery dies, I want to be able to replace it. Even better if there is a easy charging station like the above and giving the consumer more options.
So far most ev batteries do much better than cell phones, as long as they have cooling.
