The whole repair thing should made super easy if we want EVs to succeed.

  1. Make all batteries use an easily swappable set of standard cell sizes.
  2. Make battery controllers standardised and swappable.
  3. …. Er… that’s it.

But that will never happen because the EV manufacturers couldn't charge ridiculous amounts of money for proprietary batteries.
