At this early stage of EV, this needs a little regulation I think. Currently batteries are made as cheap as possible to make the car as cheap as possible, but this also means they’re a monolith by design. Batteries need to be designed to make them modular and more easily replaceable. With some kind of size/weight/harness regulation, all the car designers could start to look into designs that allow swapping them out.
