This is actually a really great direction. Imagine - a software and hardware standard developed for batteries that allows generic installation/communication between the vehicle and the battery pack. And the realization that EV's may be multi-decade investments (and need to be high quality to last) if the batteries are replaced each decade. Electric motors don't wear down with kms like petrol motors do - how often have you seen luxury cars wrecked where the interiors lasted a lot longer than the driveline (pretty often i.e. BMW Audi)? Why shouldn't people be able to buy high quality interiors and put new batteries in them.
