Since cars are all more or less solving the same problem, hopefully it will standardize on a set of parts and procedures. I meant trivial for a mechanic- on the order of swapping out an engine. It would still be work for a professional mechanic or a skilled DIY person not your average consumer. You’d still be dealing with big voltages, toxic chemicals, and major chances of fire or overheating if done wrong.
- RevEng 2y agoYou can still swap out a battery just like swapping out an engine. Both require extensive knowledge, specialized tools, and a lot of time, but it's definitely possible.

- _yb2s 2y agoYeah but usually you have to get an identical pack- which is expensive for common EVs and nearly impossible for older ones. My point is these parts could be standardized with a simplified process to more easily recell any car. Batteries don’t need to be as unique to a car as engines do. Eventually I think EVs will last nearly forever, with the only major wear items being suspension and battery- both easy to replace.
