Yeah, but standardized swappable batteries would be great for consumers, and ensure a used car market could exist.
A 15 year old car might not be supported by a manufacturer, but if it was a standard for those years there’d be a big enough demand even if it’s a third party that fills the void.
We need to think long term, and cars being junk after a decade ain’t a good long term strategy.
The cells should be individual 18650 which are standard and easy for a tech with the right training to replace. No need for a swap able battery, just repairable is all we need.
