I agree. A Tesla makes a great starting point for experimenting. However, I see the point that the grand parent comment is making. It would be nice to see this crate fit into more cars. However, There is no need to reinvent the wheel. I'd say for most cars, the batteries belong underneath the seats. But as far as I remember, Tesla had to put a thick sheet of steel or something (titanium?) under the battery for safety in case you drove over something? When we take the battery into consideration, I agree this rapidly becomes out of DIY territory. Now we need custom batteries and custom metal sheets to protect them but the idea of a common electric crate motor is still appealing because the motor becomes a commodity and it should help lower prices I'm thinking someone should do this for a popular make and model that sold in large numbers like an old toyota camry. In any case, I am happy to see progress in EV.
